Knesset's election of Rabello as comptroller conducted unlawfully, retired justice tells high court (opens original article in a new tab)

A retired Supreme Court justice claims the Knesset's election of Michael Rabello as state comptroller was unlawful, citing violations of vote secrecy and potential political pressure.

• Retired Supreme Court justice Yosef Elron told the High Court of Justice that the Knesset vote electing Michael Rabello as state comptroller was conducted unlawfully.
• The petitions argue that the secrecy of the vote was a central legal protection, not a technical formality, and that alleged filming of votes undermined the integrity of the election.
• The High Court will decide if the alleged breach of secrecy was serious enough to cancel the election of Rabello as state comptroller.
