Police, when asked about the use of cameras in polling stations, confirmed there had been “a number of suspected irregularities” in the north, where many Israeli Arabs — who comprise 21% of the population — live. On election days in Israel, representatives of most parties sit at venues to check the pre-vote identification process. Voters are then handed an envelope and go behind a screen to cast their ballot in private.
“We noticed that each one of these representatives had a camera on them, on their bodies,” he said, adding that he believed the cameras were “designed to intimidate voters.” He said police intervened and people with cameras had left.
