The Supreme Court of Poland found that the presidential candidate's committee submitted false information regarding his education and assets, constituting a violation of the Electoral Law. However, the court determined that this error did not influence the election outcome because voters had access to sufficient information through media coverage and did not base their decisions on educational credentials. Consequently, the protests filed by opponents were rejected despite the admitted procedural irregularity.
