Likud is returning to the High Court of Justice demanding a change to the ruling that prohibited the transfer of identifying information about voters from polling stations via the "Elector" application. The hearing will take place today (Wednesday) at the Supreme Court. Likud argues that the application is essential for voter turnout, while privacy protection organizations warn of a violation of privacy.

Likud is returning to the High Court of Justice with a demand to change the ruling that prohibited the transfer of identifying information about voters from polling stations via the "Elector" application. The hearing will take place this morning (Wednesday) at the Supreme Court, following a series of legal proceedings that began in previous election campaigns. Likud argues that the application is essential for voter turnout on election day, while privacy protection organizations warn of a violation of privacy and the use of political databases. In a previous ruling, the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, determined that transferring names from the polling station constitutes an illegal violation of privacy, and the High Court upheld this. However, the court did not prohibit the use of the applications in other ways. The decision could affect the management of election systems in Israel.
