The United Arab List (Ra'am) has filed a formal complaint with the Central Elections Committee, alleging a systematic campaign to obstruct its voters. The party claims this campaign includes the arrest of its activists, the disappearance of its ballots, and the destruction of ballots in several Arab towns.
According to the complaint, police arrested several prominent United Arab List activists in the Negev desert early on the day of the election. Among those arrested were Dr. Siyyaf Abu Riyash from Rahat, Hussein Masoudin from Shqib-Salam, and Ibrahim Al-Quraibi from the village of Al-Sarr, with no clear justification provided for the arrests.
The party also reported a widespread shortage of its Arabic-language ballots, marked with the letters 'A.M.', in various towns, including Nazareth and Shfaram. Additionally, torn ballots were discovered, leading to suspicions of deliberate destruction.
The United Arab List urged voters to be cautious, verify the availability of intact ballots, and demand replacements if ballots are missing or found damaged. The party asserted that right-wing elements are attempting to weaken its electoral strength and prevent it from reaching eight Knesset seats, thereby hindering the formation of an alternative government led by the "change bloc."
