High Court rules polling station officials can’t transmit voter data to parties on election day
World2 sources1 country🔦 Under-reported45m ago
Israel's High Court has ruled 2-1 that polling station officials are prohibited from transmitting real-time voter data and turnout information to political parties on election day. The decision, issued ahead of the upcoming 2026 elections, blocks Likud-backed digital tracking efforts at polling stations.
The ruling directly addresses ongoing political tensions surrounding data collection during elections. It enforces a previous High Court decision from September that had already banned the practice of real-time voter turnout tracking by political parties.
