Chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, declared today (Wednesday) that elections cannot be stolen, against the backdrop of warnings voiced by opposition figures, including Yair Lapid and Ehud Barak, about the possibility of forgeries. During a visit to the committee's logistics center in Shoham, 13 days before the polls open, Solberg detailed the oversight and control mechanisms meant to ensure the reliability of the results. He emphasized that the paper-ballot voting method allows a recount and correction of errors, and expressed confidence in the integrity of the elections. During the visit, preparations were presented for 7,331,981 eligible voters at 12,018 polling stations, with about 450 million ballots for 38 lists. Solberg also addressed security threats, cyber and artificial intelligence challenges, and polarization in public discourse, noting that the committee is preparing for various scenarios in cooperation with the police, the Shin Bet, and the cyber array.
