  • The initiative is a joint effort with the Religious Zionism party to boost right-wing turnout.
  • The campaign will use voter mapping, field operations, phone calls, and transportation to polling stations.
  • Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his team set the ambitious numerical goal.
  • Likud believes mobilizing these voters is key to securing a 61-seat majority for the right-wing bloc.

The Likud party has set an ambitious target of registering 1.3 million individuals in its voter database, known as the 'Elector' software, ahead of the upcoming elections. This initiative is a joint effort with the Religious Zionism party, aiming to streamline field operations and ensure all right-wing bloc supporters cast their ballots.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Likud campaign team established this numerical goal following extensive mapping and analysis conducted in recent weeks. The process involved examining voting patterns, internal polls, and field data from party branches and activists nationwide. The collaboration also includes sharing existing voter databases and information with the Religious Zionism party to create a more comprehensive picture of potential right-wing voters.

While the Supreme Court has prohibited the use of the Elector software for registering voters at polling stations on election day itself, Likud emphasizes its significant utility in other campaign areas. The party plans to extensively use the software for identifying voters, assigning them to specific polling stations, organizing transportation, coordinating phone banking, managing volunteer activities, and conducting door-to-door outreach.

The primary objective is to reach every identified right-wing supporter who might abstain from voting due to complacency or lack of awareness. Likud views the 1.3 million target as realistic and potentially decisive for the election outcome. They believe that mobilizing a substantial portion of this voter pool could secure a 61-seat majority for the right-wing bloc and prevent the formation of a blocking bloc against them. "These elections will be decided by turnout percentages," party officials stated. "Every vote counts, and we will ensure no right-wing vote stays home."
