AI generated

The Supreme Court dismissed the election protest filed by Leszek M. regarding a clerical error where four valid votes were incorrectly attributed to one candidate instead of another on the same party list. Although the court acknowledged the procedural violation by the district election commission, it found that the mistake did not alter the aggregate vote count for the party list. Consequently, the court ruled that the error had no material impact on the election outcome because the party list had already secured the necessary threshold.
