Elections committee plans live broadcast of vote count to dispel conspiracy theories

The acting director of Israel's Central Elections Committee, Dean Livne, announced plans to live-stream the vote-counting process during the upcoming October election to enhance transparency and counteract conspiracy theories. Livne emphasized that the live broadcast would include footage of the secure storage area for double-envelope ballots, which are used by specific groups such as military personnel, prisoners, and overseas diplomats. He acknowledged concerns about misinformation and the potential for foreign interference, urging citizens to rely solely on official sources for accurate election-related information. Additionally, Livne proposed new regulations requiring AI-generated political content to be clearly labeled, aiming to combat disinformation while allowing continued use of artificial intelligence in campaigns.
