The Likud party is developing an alternative technological solution to monitor voter turnout in real-time, following a High Court of Justice ruling that prohibited party representatives at polling stations from reporting voter numbers via phone. The court had previously disqualified a system known as the "Clicker," which operated through Telegram. Likud is reportedly exploring options, including placing unofficial representatives outside polling stations to gather data. The party has informed its election committee members that full instructions for the new system will be provided later, as they work to find a workaround before election day.
