The controversy surrounding a Supreme Court decision limiting parties' data collection on election day is escalating. Following sharp criticism from Justice Minister Yariv Levin, Erez Malul, the deputy chairman of the Central Elections Committee and a Member of Knesset, has also denounced the ruling. Malul argues that the decision undermines the integrity of the democratic process by altering the rules mid-game and harming democracy.
According to Malul, the court's decision disconnects political parties from legitimate field operations and could directly impact voter turnout. He stated that preventing parties from accessing information will impair their ability to mobilize voters to exercise their right to vote, potentially lowering overall participation rates.
Malul further emphasized that the ruling is detached from the reality on the ground and restricts the legitimate operational freedom of factions on election day. The decision has sparked significant debate regarding the balance between privacy and the operational needs of political parties during elections.
