The Likud has finalized what it calls its "victory strategy" for the upcoming elections scheduled for Nov. 1, Israel Hayom learned Wednesday.

The goal – garnering 61 seats and forming a right-wing government – seems within reach and the assessment among Likud officials is that with proper and precise action, they will succeed.
The faction's strategy is three-fold: motivating voters to arrive at the voting booths on election day, attracting voters from the "moderate" Religious Zionist sector, and decreasing votes in the Arab population.
In the last few days, the Likud finished mapping the voting potential across the country, analyzing not only cities and neighborhoods but specific polling stations as well. They will focus on areas where Likud was given the majority of the votes, but where voter turnout was low. These include the "golden polling stations" that saw a decrease in voter turnout in the 3rd and 4th rounds of elections in 2020.
The party also decided to decrease leader Benjamin Netanyahu's participation in major events, based on the assumption that those present are active enough to vote on election day anyway, and instead focus on the "golden polling station" voters.
Instead, Netanyahu will be making "surprise appearances" in locations to be determined by Likud representatives in the coming weeks. The goal is to create buzz, selfies, speeches, and boost voters.
The campaigners came up with the idea after Netanyahu's recent visit to Bat Yam, where he made an impromptu visit to a friend, and immediately his visit was published on the neighborhood Whatsapp group, and residents came out to greet him, with the gathering continuing long after he was gone.
The Likud realized that this is their winning card: instead of events with hundreds of participants, Netanyahu will make three surprise visits, half an hour each, and encourage the complacent voters.
