The Supreme Court of Poland upheld a protest against the President's election, finding it valid due to procedural violations. The petitioners argued that a candidate was incorrectly listed in two different polling districts with duplicate voting marks, potentially affecting the election result. The court ruled that local authorities failed to remove the candidate from one list after receiving notification of his temporary residence registration in another district, thereby violating statutory obligations.
