Israel's Central Election Committee, in conjunction with the Privacy Protection Authority, will monitor the servers of party applications, including "Elector," to ensure that party representatives at polling stations do not transfer personal voter information. Sources within the Election Committee told Haaretz on Thursday that this server monitoring is the most effective method to enforce a Supreme Court ruling prohibiting the transfer of such data, rather than inspecting the personal cell phones of the representatives. The sources declined to specify whether the server monitoring would occur in real-time during election day or retrospectively. The Supreme Court is expected to rule today on whether to permit polling station representatives to report voter counts via telephones.
