  "summary": "Around 120 Israeli citizens living abroad are planning to sue for voting rights in the October 27 election. They claim they were removed from the voter registry without their knowledge.\n\nIlana Mittman, a US-based Israeli expat, discovered she was no longer registered to vote when she checked her status online. She has maintained strong ties to Israel, following its news, staying in touch with family, and engaging in pro-Israel advocacy. Mittman moved to the US in 1980 for her husband's medical studies and has never considered severing her ties to Israel.\n\nMittman's case may be taken to the High Court. According to The Times of Israel, she and others like her are seeking to challenge their removal from the voter registry.",
