Contrary to media reports of problems during the Likud primary polling, Uri Arad, CEO of Malam-Team, which installed the computerized polling system, said there were no significant delays in the voting. "The media reports were mistaken. The voting was smooth and the system worked properly." The computer system worked properly, although a communications line was spliced by a tractor during the morning hours, cutting off the network for several hours.
Arad said that the only problem with the actual voting itself was that the Likud had not ordered enough terminals, especially in Jerusalem – thus causing long lines at some polling stations. Arad said that the company was asked to set up more terminals during the day. According to reports last week, Likud Chairman Binyamin Netanyahu has ordered a limited number of polling booths to be set up in areas where support for Moshe Feiglin was strong.
