Polish Supreme Court dismissed a party's appeal for merging campaign and party fund accounts.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Polish Supreme Court dismissed the Polish People's Party's appeal against the Electoral Commission's rejection of its financial report. The Commission found violations because the party used a joint account for both its election committee and its separate campaign fund, and accepted cash donations instead of bank transfers. The Court ruled that the law strictly requires two distinct bank accounts and prohibits cash contributions to the campaign fund, thereby upholding the Commission's decision.
