Labor leader Merav Michaeli votes in her party’s leadership primaries, demonstrating the party’s cellphone voting technology in order to cast a vote for herself to continue in the role.
Michaeli is highly favored in today’s contest, competing only against Labor Secretary General Eran Hermoni.
After voting, Michaeli tells The Times of Israel that her party will look for new voting audiences, to bump up the center-left before the upcoming general election.
“Now that we have time” in the 106 days remaining until Israelis go to the polls on November 1, Michaeli says Labor will pursue new avenues for support.
Currently, Michaeli has been spending airtime to differentiate her party from its erstwhile left-wing partner, Meretz, and trying to move into the center dominated by Yesh Atid and Blue and White.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
