Chairman Oded Forer of the Yisrael Beytenu Knesset faction has used the word "unfortunate" to describe the decision by Chairman Hanan Melcer of the Central Election Committee not to allow cameras to be installed at polling stations in the Arab sector.
MK Forer explained, "There is a fear of forgery during the voting, especially in homogeneous polling stations such as the haredi-religious or Arab sectors." He added, "We have already been exposed to deals between Arab and haredi parties in placing observers in polling stations, so we intend to launch a dedicated volunteer project aimed at placing observers from the party in haredi neighborhoods and the Arab sector in order to supervise and prevent counterfeiting."
