Election Committee: No Systematic Spoiling of Ballots and Warning Against Markings

In depth

The Central Elections Committee clarified that, as of now, there are no indications of systematic spoiling of ballot slips, following reports circulating online about the spoiling of slips of various parties. Committee officials stressed that every isolated report is handled immediately, and called on the public to stay updated through the official channels.

The committee warned against adding inscriptions or marks to printed ballots. According to Arutz Sheva, such additions may lead to the vote being disqualified, and in the case of a missing printed ballot of the requested list, a blank ballot may be used, on which only the letters of the list may be written in blue pen.

According to Maariv, a ballot slip with a defect will not be automatically disqualified.
