The claims of the Together party against Likud, and the clarification of the Central Elections Committee

The 'Together' party, led by Naftali Bennett, accused Likud of illegally monitoring voters through an application. The Central Elections Committee responded by clarifying: 'The information is incorrect,' and emphasized that it has no reports of such activity.

The 'Together' party, led by Naftali Bennett, claimed this morning (Tuesday), on election day for the Knesset, that Likud representatives are monitoring voters inside polling stations and transmitting information through an application, in violation of the law. In response, the Central Elections Committee clarified that 'the information is incorrect' and that it has not received any reports of such activity. Additionally, an isolated incident of photography at a polling station in the moshav of Yarchiv was reported, where a polling committee member stopped filming after the guidelines were explained to her. The article also reviews the legal background: in August, the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, Judge Noam Sohlberg, ruled that it is forbidden to transmit information about voter identities in real time through the 'Elector' application. The committee plenum decided in September to allow this, but the High Court of Justice overturned the decision, ruling that it violates the right to privacy.
