Police Inspector General Dani Levi discussed with the Central Elections Committee leadership threats to the Knesset elections on October 27, including illegal influence and the use of AI. The police and CEC are preparing measures to protect the transparency of voting and ensure citizens' access to polling stations. These are the first elections since the start of the full-scale war.

Police Inspector General Dani Levi held a meeting with the leadership of the Central Elections Committee (CEC) to discuss potential threats to the Knesset elections scheduled for October 27. The meeting was attended by CEC Chairman, Deputy Chief Justice Noam Sohlberg, and the committee's Director General Dean Livne. The police presented information on measures to protect the electoral process from possible risks, including illegal influence on elections and the use of artificial intelligence to manipulate voters. Law enforcement emphasized their intention to ensure transparency and fairness of voting, as well as unhindered participation of citizens, while suppressing attempts to prevent them from reaching polling stations. The police and CEC stated their readiness to take tough measures against interference in the voting process. Earlier, Kursor reported that experts consider attempts to influence the elections possible in order to change public sentiment and intensify divisions in society. These elections will be the first parliamentary ones since the start of the full-scale war. The current Knesset completes a full four-year term, which last happened in 1998.
