Justice Hanan Solberg, chair of the Central Elections Committee, issued a ruling Tuesday evening prohibiting party representatives at polling stations from using smartphone apps to report who has voted, arguing that the practice violates voters' privacy. The ruling, reported by journalist Daniel Amram, applies to apps designed to incentivize voter turnout. Earlier Tuesday, The Zioneer reported that Likud was considering petitioning the High Court of Justice against the same ban, which the party says undermines election integrity. The full scope of the ruling and any potential exceptions remain to be clarified.
