Right-Wing Groups Launch Door-to-Door Campaign to Boost Election Turnout

A new grassroots initiative, dubbed 'V26 Election Headquarters,' has been launched by right-wing figures to increase voter turnout and secure a decisive victory in the upcoming elections. The campaign, headed by Yossi Dagan, head of the Shomron Regional Council, aims to mobilize thousands of volunteers for a nationwide door-to-door effort in strongholds of the national camp. The initiative is an expansion of the V22 headquarters, which operated during the 2022 elections to maximize voter participation.

Key figures joining the V26 headquarters include Berale Crombie, chairman of Tkuma; Elhanan Galat, CEO of the Bnei Akiva Yeshivas and Ulpanot Center; and Yanki Friedman, CEO of the Noam-Tzvia education network. They expressed their commitment to strengthening the public and religious support for the right, emphasizing the critical nature of the upcoming elections.

Dagan stated that the victory lies in voter turnout, asserting that while the majority of the public holds national and traditional values, many do not vote. He expressed confidence that by replicating the high turnout achieved in the Shomron region, a right-wing government would be formed, leading to sovereignty and the regulation of young settlements. Crombie warned that a left-wing victory would result in the establishment of a Palestinian state and a freeze on settlement activity, alongside pressure from the US administration.

Friedman joined the effort out of commitment to the country's future, while Galat called the mobilization of thousands of volunteers to increase election participation a "command of the hour." The campaign's ultimate goal is to achieve a clear majority of 61 mandates for the national camp by encouraging citizens to cast their ballots on election day.
