The Likud and Religious Zionism parties have finalized preparations for a joint operation to deploy approximately 2,000 poll watchers in hundreds of voting stations located in Arab communities ahead of the upcoming elections. According to the parties, this initiative aims to monitor the integrity of the voting and vote counting processes, citing concerns over alleged fraud in past elections.
The 2,000 observers, comprising activists from both parties including many from the religious-nationalist sector and yeshiva students, will be stationed in polling stations identified through a mapping process based on the estimated 'risk' level for fraud in those areas. The deployment will also adhere to the quotas allocated to each party for placing observers.
In preparation for election day, these activists will undergo training sessions covering voting procedures, identifying irregularities, and protocols for handling suspected misconduct during voting or counting. These training sessions will be conducted at multiple locations to ensure broad participation.
This move is part of a wider collaboration between Likud and Religious Zionism, which includes establishing a joint headquarters to boost voter turnout on the right. Their joint activities will involve door-to-door campaigning, phone banking, and the presence of senior officials at polling station entrances.
