Legislator summary

AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed Mieczysław R.'s protest regarding the closing of the polling station at 5:30 AM. Although the petitioner alleged procedural violations affecting the election outcome, the court ruled that a formal protest under Article 72 of the Presidential Election Act can only be lodged after the election results are officially announced. Consequently, letters submitted prior to the official declaration of the election outcome cannot constitute valid protests against the election itself.
