Many election precinct secretaries, responsible for ensuring election integrity, did not receive specific training on the prohibition of using applications like "Elector," which can transmit voter information on election day, according to "Haaretz." The Central Elections Committee stated that following a High Court of Justice ruling, they updated the training materials. However, several secretaries who underwent the training reported that this specific prohibition was not mentioned. Instead, the training emphasized the ban on photography within polling stations and outlined procedures for handling emergencies, such as a war breaking out.
