In recent days, the Central Elections Committee has finalized the full emergency procedure for a scenario of a missile attack on election day or during vote counting. The procedure was drafted against the backdrop of security warnings and situation assessments with security officials, and its purpose is to enable proper and safe elections under threat. According to the procedures, all ballots will be counted on a special fabric that can be quickly folded in the event of an alarm, to maintain the continuity of security and the purity of the elections. Additionally, protected spaces have been prepared at every polling station and at the Knesset. The only authority authorized to order a halt or cancellation of voting is the Chairman of the Elections Committee, Judge Noam Solberg, after consultation with security officials. The committee emphasizes that the goal is to ensure that terrorist elements do not disrupt the democratic process.
