MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) appealed to Elections Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg, the committee's acting director-general, and the Interior Ministry director-general to extend the deadline for voters to correct their registration details, citing failures in public service. Kariv said the right to vote is a 'central constitutional status' and citizens should not bear the consequences of authorities' failures, according to N12.
MK Gilad Kariv (Labor) has formally requested that the Central Elections Committee and the Interior Ministry extend the deadline for voters to correct their registration details, attributing the need to what he described as failures in public service. The request was addressed to Committee Chairman Justice Noam Sohlberg, the committee's acting director-general, and the Interior Ministry's director-general. Kariv, who has previously raised concerns about voting access for Israelis abroad, argued that the right to vote is a 'central constitutional status' and that citizens should not be penalized for administrative shortcomings. The deadline extension would allow voters who encountered difficulties in the registration process to update their details. No response from the committee or ministry has been reported yet.
