The Central Elections Committee this week filled one of its most sensitive and important positions, appointing former Mossad chief internal auditor Shaul Stav as the committee's internal auditor.
Israel Hayom learned that Stav, who served for five years as the Mossad intelligence agency's chief internal auditor and spent 30 years in the organization, was unanimously selected for the post and began serving Wednesday. He was chosen from among eight candidates who applied through a public tender.
The internal auditor is one of the committee's key officials. The role includes examining whether the committee operates properly, identifying deficiencies, recommending corrective measures and assisting the committee chairman and director general in overseeing preparations for the approaching election.
Internal oversight
Stav's appointment is the latest in a series of senior appointments at the Central Elections Committee first reported by Israel Hayom.
Attorney Yifat Siminovsky was appointed the committee's legal adviser in March, and Dean Livne was named acting director general in May. Over the past two months, the committee worked to fill the internal auditor position, completing the process with Stav's selection.
