The Supreme Court of Poland ruled that the Electoral Commission in Gdańsk violated Article 51 of the Presidential Election Act by incorrectly marking ballot card issuance on voter lists. Although the protestor alleged discrepancies between issued cards and actual votes, the court found no causal link between the marking errors and the election outcome. Consequently, the violation was confirmed but deemed irrelevant to the final presidential election result.
