Placating posters during election silence do not violate the ban on election campaign activities under Polish law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed a protest election filed by Tadeusz W. against the validity of the presidential election. The petitioner argued that candidates displayed large posters on billboards during the election silence period, claiming these materials contained false information and violated election laws. The court ruled that the mere presence of posters on billboards does not constitute an active campaign activity prohibited by statute, as such materials must be removed within 30 days post-election. Furthermore, the protest was procedurally inadmissible because it targeted candidates rather than the elected President, and the alleged misinformation falls under a different legal remedy for false propaganda.
