The Likud party has developed a detailed strategy aimed at significantly increasing voter turnout in areas that traditionally support the party, according to political commentator Boaz Golan. The party has analyzed past election results, identifying specific towns and communities where boosting participation could be decisive.
As part of this plan, Likud has set target voting percentages for various localities. For instance, in Kiryat Ata, a city with substantial Likud support, the goal is to achieve a 72% turnout. Similar targets have been established for other municipalities.
The party's strategy focuses on two main objectives: raising the overall turnout in its strongholds and mobilizing as many Likud supporters as possible to vote. Golan reported that Likud estimates a 5% to 7% increase in turnout within these strongholds could be a critical factor in securing an election win.
This focus on maximizing voter potential is further emphasized by a poll presented to Likud by pollster Shlomo Filber. The poll indicated that smaller parties within the bloc could potentially cost Likud approximately one Knesset seat, underscoring the importance of mobilizing their base.
