Central Elections Committee Chairman Judge Noam Solberg stated today (Wednesday) that elections cannot be stolen, against the backdrop of warnings issued by opposition figures, including Yair Lapid and Ehud Barak, about the possibility of fraud. During a visit to the committee's logistics center in Shoham, 13 days before the polls open, Solberg detailed the oversight and control mechanisms designed to ensure the reliability of the results. He emphasized that the voting system using paper ballots allows for recounts 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 in 12,018 polling stations, with approximately 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, Shin Bet, and the cyber directorate. The article frames the opposition's statements as a "scare campaign" already in the headline, and presents Solberg's statement as a reassuring message against unverified claims in the body of the article.
