The Likud party is implementing a new strategy for election day operations following the Supreme Court's decision to ban the use of the "Elector" application, which tracked voter turnout in real-time. The party estimates this ban will cost them approximately two million shekels.
Instead of the banned app, Likud activists will use manual clickers outside polling stations to count voters and report the numbers to the party's command center. This manual system is intended to maintain the ability to manage election day and mobilize voters in real-time.
Furthermore, the party has developed a new transportation plan prioritizing polling stations identified with right-wing support. These "gold" polling stations, where Likud and other right-wing parties typically receive high voter turnout, will receive the majority of resources, activists, and funding for transportation.
Polling stations with lower right-wing turnout will receive fewer resources, with the allocation based on the potential impact on the election results. The party believes this revised approach will still enable them to effectively bring voters to the polls.
