Democrats Party Closes Voter Registry with Record 112,000 Members Ahead of Primaries
The Democrats party in Israel has closed its voter registry with over 112,000 registered members ahead of its primary elections scheduled for Monday, July 20. This marks the highest number of party members since the 1990s, according to party officials. A total of 51 candidates will compete for spots on the party list for the 27th Knesset elections.
Party CEO Omer Loveton Granot criticized the Likud party, contrasting the Democrats' democratic process with what he described as Likud's centralized candidate selection. He stated, "While Likud has a one-man arranging committee, we prove that democracy is a fundamental value. We enter this battle with an army of thousands of democracy fighters."
The Democrats thus position themselves as the largest democratic party in Israel, emphasizing their internal democratic procedures ahead of the upcoming elections.
