Elections Committee

Israel launched the "Election Shield" operation to protect digital infrastructure for the upcoming elections, focusing on threat monitoring and countering potential disinformation campaigns.

The Central Elections Committee rejected Kineret Barashi's petition against the use of military ranks in the 'Democrats' campaign and ordered her to pay legal costs. Yaya Fink celebrated the victory on social media.

The Central Elections Committee recorded a two-fold increase in the number of candidates compared to the previous elections, but only about 35,000 will be accepted for the position. On Wednesday, registration will open for 14,000 election integrity inspectors.

The Central Elections Committee has opened the application process for polling station secretaries for the upcoming October elections. Applications are accepted until August 14, with a gross payment of 3,000 NIS for the day.

In an interview with Galei Tzahal, the acting Director General of the Central Elections Committee, Adv. Dean Livne, rejected claims against the committee and its leadership. He warned that questioning the reliability of the election process is a tactic designed to incite public distrust and destabilize democratic institutions.

The Central Elections Committee began enforcing the requirement to label election propaganda created using artificial intelligence. Shortly thereafter, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's close advisor, Yonatan Urich, released a series of materials that violate these guidelines.

Starting August 3, a large-scale recruitment drive will begin for tens of thousands of workers for various roles ahead of the elections. The salary for polling station secretaries will range from 2,700 to 3,000 shekels, subject to meeting threshold conditions.
