- Activists outside polling stations will identify and encourage non-voters to cast ballots.

The Likud party is introducing a new application called "Victory 26" to identify and encourage voters, following restrictions placed on the previous "Elector" app by the High Court of Justice. Unlike "Elector," which reportedly identified individual voters, "Victory 26" will only report the number of people who have voted. To supplement the app's data, party activists will be stationed outside polling stations. Their role will be to identify potential supporters who have not yet voted and encourage them to cast their ballots, thereby helping the Likud map out undecided or unmobilized voters.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently urged his supporters to use the new application in anticipation of the upcoming elections. In a video circulated within party groups on Tuesday, Netanyahu stated, "They tried to steal the election, they tried to completely cancel Elector." He added, "We have other ways," referring to the new software.
