The Supreme Court overturned the Central Elections Committee's decision and banned digital information transfer in real time from polling stations regarding voter identity, and the right came out against the ruling with a series of sharp criticisms.

Today (Thursday) the Supreme Court overturned the Central Elections Committee's decision and banned digital information transfer in real time from polling stations regarding voter identity. According to the ruling, this is a violation of privacy in the absence of explicit authorization from the legislature.

Justice Minister Yariv Levin attacked the decision: 'They harm election integrity and invent new rules.' According to him, the judges 'change the rules of the game in the middle of the game.'

MK Amit Halevy said that 'the Supreme Court and democracy have not gone together for a long time' and emphasized that 'this is exactly what they'll go to elections over.' The Religious Zionist party declared that the ruling 'is intended to harm the right-wing parties' ability to bring out their supporters to the polls.' MK Erez Malul added that 'the Supreme Court ruling changes the rules of the game in the middle of the game and harms the democratic process.' According to the report, the move is expected to make it more difficult for parties to mobilize supporters on election day.
