Without the Elector: How Likud Plans to Bypass the High Court Ruling

Likud's field headquarters has established over 70 branches across the country and mapped polling stations with decreased voter turnout. Thousands of activists will operate using a 'door-to-door' method and a phone bank system, employing new solutions for real-time data collection following the ban on the Elector. The party estimates: increasing turnout in Netanya is worth half a mandate, and in Jerusalem a full mandate.

First publication: Likud's field headquarters has established over 70 branches across the country within ten days, as part of an accelerated preparation for the elections. According to information obtained by C14, the headquarters mapped all polling stations in Likud strongholds, precisely identifying places where voter turnout decreased in previous elections. As part of the preparations, a network of thousands of activists was set up to operate using a 'door-to-door' method on election day, alongside a large-scale phone bank system to encourage voters. Simultaneously, the headquarters found new and creative ways to receive real-time data on election day, after the High Court banned the use of the Elector. In recent days, a widespread signage campaign has also begun in Likud strongholds, with an emphasis on places where a campaign to suppress voting was conducted by Gadi Eisenkot and left-wing activists. Party sources explain that the goal is not to convince new voters, but to encourage voters who previously voted for Likud and first-time voters from Likud families. According to the mapping, increasing voter turnout in Netanya is equivalent to half a mandate for Likud, and in Jerusalem the numbers approach a full mandate. MK Avichai Boaron is responsible for managing the field headquarters, which received a budget of tens of millions of shekels.
