Despite High Court ruling: Likud advances the Elector app "legally" | Amiel Yerachi

Likud has relaunched the "Elector" app despite a High Court ruling prohibiting real-time voter reporting. The party clarifies that usage will comply with legal restrictions, involving sharing activists' contact lists and classifying political leanings.

Likud relaunched the "Elector" app today (Thursday) at a major activists' conference, despite a High Court ruling earlier today that overturned the Central Elections Committee's decision and banned real-time reporting of voter identities on election day. The party clarifies that the tool will be used within legal limits: "We have additional ways to work with Elector completely legally." Under the updated model, each field activist is asked to download the app and share their contact list. The system allows activists to input information about their acquaintances' political leanings and classify them as supporters, undecided, or opponents. On election day, activists will be asked to directly contact the lists to ensure supporters reach polling stations. The operating company will also have system access and can call contacts. The High Court ruled this practice illegal, violating the right to privacy, but Likud claims to have found legal ways to bypass the ban.
