The 'Arabs Are Flocking' Campaign Returns: Likud Prepares to Leverage Voting Data in Opposition Strongholds | Amiel Yerachi

Likud is preparing to leverage the decision of Central Elections Committee Chairman Judge Solberg to publish voter turnout percentages per polling station, aiming to motivate voters by showing high turnout in opposition strongholds and Arab cities. The campaign, known as 'The Arabs Are Flocking,' returns and this time focuses on opposition voters.

The controversial 'Arabs Are Flocking' campaign is back, and this time it will focus on opposition voters. This was reported this evening (Tuesday) on the 'Main Edition' by i24NEWS Knesset correspondent Amiel Yerachi. Likud is preparing to leverage the unprecedented decision of Central Elections Committee Chairman Judge Noam Solberg to publish voter turnout percentages per polling station. The goal: to motivate voters by showing high turnout in opposition strongholds and Arab cities. Solberg's original decision was intended to compensate for the ban on using the electronic voter registry for Likud, but now the faction will benefit from both directions: it will send its base high turnout percentages in opposition strongholds, based on the assessment that turnout in the opposition will be very high. Recall that after a long discussion, the Central Elections Committee approved on Sunday by a vote of 19 in favor versus 11 against that party representatives can continue to update in real time who has voted. The move was initially rejected by Solberg, but the High Court of Justice returned the decision to the committee. The storm began last month when Solberg ruled that reporting voter identities constitutes a violation of privacy.
