Likud Seeks Opposition Support to Legalize Use of Elector App Despite Privacy Concerns

The Likud party is working to advance a legislative amendment that would permit the use of the Elector app and declare that its use does not violate privacy rights. This move follows a ban by Noam Solberg, the chairman of the Central Elections Committee, who prohibited the app's use. According to reports from ynet, Likud has reached out to opposition representatives, requesting a consensual drafting of the legislation to avoid opposition and facilitate smooth passage. The initiative relies on a legal opinion from the government's legal advisor, which states that election laws take precedence over privacy concerns in this context.
