(45,970 posts)Yes, there was a proposal to implement an electronic voting system spearheaded by Minister of the Interior Meir Sheetrit. But here's the rub. Sheetrit was Minister of Interior from 2007 to 2009. The implementation of e-voting was part of a proposed change to Israel's voting law in 2008 -- seven years ago. It went nowhere. Conseuqently, Israel still uses paper ballots despite your unsubstantiated contention to the contrary.
Here's a story from 2013 that points out that e-voting wasn't implemented. And another story in which the Green party in Israel in 2013 was starting a new push for e-voting. If these changes had been made in the past two years, there would be some evidence of it. Yet I challenge you to find a single story indicating that e-voting, proposeed but rejected six years ago, was approved and implemented.

Israel, a country known for its fast and continuous development of technology, had the chance to implement e-voting as early as 2008. However, in spite of general approval from the political class, this did not happen, and today the country is still stuck with an outdated voting model. Why? Israel is an example of the risks a country runs when its electoral modernization process is not transparent and open to the people.

It took me maybe three minutes to find these articles. You could have found them too if you had made the effort.
