Israel's High Court blocks real-time voter data sharing via tracking apps
The High Court of Justice reversed a decision by the Central Elections Committee, prohibiting the live transmission of voter information to tracking applications.
On Thursday, Israel's top judicial body annulled the Central Elections Committee's approval that allowed polling stations to send voter data in real time. The court ruled that such information cannot be distributed, even through widely used voter-tracking apps. This decision curtails the flow of election-day data to the public.
Why it matters
The ruling limits real-time election data, affecting transparency, privacy, and how voters receive information.
