Israelis Abroad Face Technical Issues Accessing Voter Registry Information, Interior Ministry Says
Israelis living abroad are encountering difficulties obtaining clear information from the Interior Ministry regarding their registration status in the voter registry. Some report being removed from the registry or are unable to confirm their designated polling stations, raising concerns about potential legal irregularities and the risk of being excluded from voting.
The Interior Ministry acknowledged the problem, attributing it to a technical malfunction affecting their WhatsApp and SMS service centers, which are currently undergoing upgrades. Officials emphasized that this issue should not impact voters, as the deadline to request address corrections is September 3, and the voter registry will be finalized on September 7.
The ministry reassured overseas voters that despite the temporary communication challenges, their ability to participate in upcoming elections remains intact if they meet the correction deadline.
