Israel's Central Election Committee has finalized an emergency procedure for the upcoming elections, scheduled for Tuesday, in anticipation of potential missile attacks and security alerts. The plan is designed to ensure voting and vote counting can continue even if air raid sirens sound.
Key measures include preparing protected spaces at polling stations and adapting the vote counting process for emergency situations. A unique step involves using special fabric for ballots, allowing them to be quickly folded and secured if voters need to move to shelters during an alarm.
The committee aims to minimize disruption to the electoral process and maintain the integrity of vote counting amidst potential security escalations. Officials emphasize that this is a precautionary measure for a possible scenario, not an announcement of an imminent attack on election day.
