Likud Legal Advisor to Petition Supreme Court Against Central Elections Committee Chairman
After Judge Solberg's response to Likud's request to reconsider his decision banning the 'Elector' application did not satisfy the party, attorney Ilan Bombach will file a petition with the Supreme Court tomorrow, as reported this evening (Wednesday).
After Judge Solberg's response to Likud's request to reconsider his decision banning the use of the 'Elector' application did not satisfy the party, attorney Ilan Bombach will file a petition with the Supreme Court tomorrow, as reported this evening (Wednesday).
Attorney Bombach's arguments on behalf of Likud:
-
Rules of the game should not be changed while the game is in progress.
-
It is not within Solberg's authority to ensure the protection of privacy; his role is to ensure the integrity of the elections.
Furthermore, Likud states there is no violation of privacy because:
-
There is no exposure of voting details.
-
Most Western countries allow the encouragement of voter participation.
Likud argues that Solberg's decision harms democracy. Encouraging voting is an essential tool for the democratic process, and therefore, as mentioned, the petition will be filed tomorrow with the Supreme Court.
