The Likud party convention is voting today on the method for selecting the party's Knesset slate, with polls closing at 20:00. The vote, reported by i24NEWS, comes amid a months-long internal debate over the primary system, reserved slots, and the role of the party's constitution committee. The Zioneer has previously reported on the party's internal deliberations, including the constitution committee's unanimous confirmation of an August 4 primary date in late June, and subsequent negotiations over candidate selection mechanisms. The outcome of today's vote will determine whether the party holds open primaries or establishes an arranging committee to select the slate.
