Ex-Likud Official Alleges New Party App Could Enable Illegal Voter Surveillance

Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba

CenterCharged tone

English · 2 newsrooms covering

A former Likud official, David (Dudi) Rechter, has filed an affidavit alleging that the party's new "Victory 26" app can be used for illegal voter surveillance, potentially bypassing a High Court ruling. The app allegedly allows secret monitoring of polling stations to identify voters and track their arrival times. Rechter claims this circumvents election law and a recent court decision prohibiting the transmission of such specific voter data. The affidavit was submitted to the High Court and attorney general, raising concerns about election integrity.
