Supreme Court allows election committee notification without prior valid court registration of the political party.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland declared the election commission's refusal to accept a party's notification valid, ordering its revocation. The applicant, representing the 'Alternatywa Ruch Społeczny' committee, argued that the law only requires an authenticated extract from the party registry, not proof of a final court ruling on registration. The court held that requiring a final court decision would create unreasonable delays for new parties and contradict the purpose of the election ordinance, thus allowing the notification to proceed with just the registry extract.
