A senior coalition official criticized the Central Elections Committee's directive barring party representatives from reporting which voters have not yet cast their ballots, arguing it undermines the voting rights of the elderly, sick, and disabled who rely on transportation to polling stations.
A senior coalition official said Tuesday evening that the Central Elections Committee's directive banning party representatives from reporting voter turnout data to their headquarters harms the most vulnerable voters. The official argued that the restriction makes it harder for the elderly, sick, and disabled who rely on organized transportation to polling stations to exercise their right to vote. The statement is the latest criticism of the directive, which has drawn opposition from several coalition and opposition figures. The Zioneer has previously reported on the coalition's broader moves regarding voting accessibility, including the decision to block nursing home polling stations and the refusal to allow remote voting for non-care facility residents.
