Israel's Central Election Committee is preparing for potential Iranian attacks during the upcoming elections, scheduled for next week. Amidst rising tensions with Iran, the committee is readying polling stations for extreme scenarios, including air raid sirens during voting and foreign interference attempts aimed at disrupting the vote count.
Most polling stations nationwide are located in schools or community centers equipped with standard protected spaces. To ensure voter safety, clear signage will direct citizens to the nearest protected area in case of an alarm. A camera will monitor the integrity of the elections during such an event.
The vote count will be conducted in the Knesset's underground parking lot, a protected facility designed to ensure operational continuity and election integrity even under missile fire. Maps will be placed on counting tables to allow for rapid folding and freezing of the count if necessary.
Beyond physical threats, the election command center is prepared for psychological warfare and the spread of fake news intended to deter voters. Dedicated teams will monitor social media and online mentions in real-time to counter disinformation.
Earlier today, the Shin Bet announced that in a joint operation with the State Attorney's Office Cyber Department and the Central Election Committee, online profiles used for foreign influence operations ahead of the elections were identified and removed. The Central Election Committee stated, "The committee, in cooperation with all security agencies including the police, the Shin Bet, and the Home Front Command, is prepared for any scenario."
