Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed Kazimierz S.'s referendum protest filed as a trusted man of the League of Polish Families. The petitioner alleged procedural flaws in the election commission's composition and timing, but failed to provide any documentary evidence to support these claims. The court ruled that trusted men cannot substitute commission members or disrupt their work, and their only recourse is submitting specific objections to the voting protocol, which the petitioner did not do.
