Key facts

•Court: High Court of Justice
•Date of decision: October 22, 2026
•Majority opinion: Khaled Kabub and Ruth Ronnen
•Minority opinion: David Mintz
•The case number was not provided in the source

What the Court Decided

The decision was handed down on October 22, 2026, by a majority. Justices Khaled Kabub and Ruth Ronnen supported the prohibition, while Justice David Mintz, who presided over the panel, remained in the minority.

How the Dispute Arose

Earlier, Din Livne, acting director general of the Central Elections Committee, issued a decision allowing party representatives to digitally transmit information about the number of voters. The High Court of Justice overturned that decision. Further details about the parties to the proceeding and the case number were not provided in the source.

Why the Reasons Are Not Yet Known

Due to time constraints ahead of the elections, the judgment was published without the reasoning section. The Court announced that the reasons would be provided later, and therefore the source does not make it possible to determine the legal arguments of the majority opinion or of the justice who remained in the minority.

What this means for you

During voting, party representatives at polling stations will not be able to digitally transmit up-to-date data on the number of voters. For ordinary voters, this means that the parties are not supposed to receive such operational information from polling stations in the manner described; the full significance and scope of the prohibition will become clear after the Court publishes its reasons.
