Why Israel Sticks to Paper Ballots Amid Digital Age

Israel continues to use paper ballots for elections, a method defended by security experts as crucial for democratic integrity in the digital age. Despite the convenience of digital options, concerns over cybersecurity, the inherent conflict between voter identification and ballot secrecy, and the potential for large-scale remote manipulation make paper ballots the preferred, albeit seemingly anachronistic, system. European nations like Germany and the Netherlands have also reverted to paper ballots after experiencing issues with electronic systems, reinforcing Israel's approach as a measure of institutional resilience against sophisticated cyber threats and disinformation campaigns.
