The Likud party is reportedly preparing for a wave of complaints regarding alleged fraud within Arab communities, even before the elections have taken place. According to a report by Channel 12 News, the party is examining claims related to the identification of women wearing veils, separate arrival times for men and women in Bedouin communities, and the age of election supervisors. However, the report notes that some of these examined issues do not actually constitute violations of election rules. The Central Elections Committee requires identification and the removal of veils for verification, there is no prohibition on communities voluntarily arriving at specific times, and the minimum age for election supervisors nationwide is 21. Concurrently, election oversight is expected to be more robust this time. Each polling station will have two clerks, an election supervisor, and committee members from each bloc. Furthermore, every Arab polling station will include a representative from the Netanyahu bloc, alongside external observers. The concern is that these allegations could be used to undermine the legitimacy of the election results, while simultaneously, the party may attempt to mobilize voters using these suspicions.
