Human Rights Alert: RE: Computerization of The Central Election Committee - FOIA Responses

1) The letter requests attention from the head of Shin Bet regarding concerns over lack of integrity and potential deceit in the computerization of Israel's Central Election Committee. 2) Two additional Freedom of Information requests were filed regarding the appointment of an IT official and compliance with security standards, but the Committee claimed it did not possess the requested information. 3) Reports by the State Comptroller and the Committee's responses to FOIA requests raise serious concerns about deceit and breach of trust in the computerization of the Central Election Committee, which is critical to Israel's democratic regime. The key figures of concern are the Committee's CEO and the aforementioned IT official.
