Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland partially upheld Zbigniew N.'s election protest against the validity of Senate elections in the Kielce district. The petitioner argued that voters signed lists without specific candidate names, constituting a crime under Art. 248 k.k., while also alleging financial campaign violations by opposing parties. The court found the signature list defect sufficient to prove the crime but dismissed claims regarding other parties due to lack of evidence.
