    Announcement due today or tomorrow on cameras in polling places

    Chairman Hanan Melcer of the Central Election Commission is due to announce on Thursday - or Friday at the latest - his decision on putting cameras in polling stations as a step against voting irregularities

    The decision is against the background of the Likud Party's demand to place cameras at precincts in the Arab sector. Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit's position is that the Likud and other parties should not be allowed to place cameras in the polling booth, and that the election commission itself has no authority to order cameras or allow them to parties.
