In an unprecedented collaboration, the Likud and Religious Zionism parties are set to deploy nearly 2,000 poll watchers in Arab population centers and polling stations for the upcoming elections. This joint effort is aimed at preventing voter fraud. The majority of these observers will be yeshiva students from the Religious Zionism party, while a significant portion will operate under the auspices and allocated slots of the larger Likud party. These poll watchers will undergo specialized training, receiving briefings on their monitoring duties, how to observe and listen for irregularities, and the procedures to follow in case of unexpected issues. A joint operations room for Likud and Religious Zionism is already functioning as part of the parties' preparations to counter potential fraud.
