Justice minister inadvertently breaks election law while voting
Justice minister Ayelet Shaked says she inadvertently broke Israeli election laws by posting a video of herself campaigning inside a polling station.
Shaked posted a video of herself casting a ballot for a local Jewish Home candidates, and urging other voters to do the same.
The video was quickly removed, and a statement from Shaked’s office said the minister did not realize she had broken the law.
“As soon as it was apparent that it was illegal, the minister removed the video from social media and has apologized for the error.”
Opposition MK Miki Rosenthal filed a complaint with the attorney general against Shaked over the video.
