A group of extremist Haredim is planning a series of actions to disrupt election day, according to a report by Haredi affairs reporter Ari Kalman on "The Central Edition" with Michal Ravinovitch. The plan includes organizing protest vigils aimed at hindering voters from reaching polling stations and suppressing turnout among the Haredi public. One of the initiative's organizers stated in a conversation with i24NEWS that the goal is to "create chaos and disorder, so that people will think twice about going to vote and yeshiva students will prefer to stay in their institutions." This initiative is reportedly similar to that of the "Black Color" party, which aims to burn Haredi votes.
