A complaint has been filed with Attorney General Gali Baharav-Miara demanding an investigation into the "Victory 26" application, developed by Elector for the Likud party's election campaign. The complaint, submitted by the "Israeli Democracy Watch" organization, alleges that the app could potentially enable the recording of events inside polling stations.
According to the former Likud computerization officer, the party could use this app to circumvent the High Court of Justice's decision regarding reporting from polling stations. The Likud party stated in response that it is a law-abiding movement and that there is no basis for the claims made in the petition and the article.
