The Supreme Court of Poland dismissed Krzysztof Filipik's election protest regarding the validity of parliamentary elections in the Chrzanów constituency. The petitioner alleged that local election officials denied his authorized observer access to polling stations until 11:00 AM, potentially compromising the voting process. The court rejected these claims, noting that the petitioner failed to provide evidence linking the delayed observer access to specific errors in counting or invalidating votes, as the disputed percentage of invalid votes remained negligible in affected precincts.
