The Supreme Court of Poland found the election protest by Sebastian K. against the second presidential round to be substantiated due to a procedural violation regarding his hospital discharge certificate. Although the court confirmed that the election commission improperly required the document, it ruled that this error did not influence the final election outcome given the massive margin of victory. Consequently, the protest was upheld in principle but the request to annul the election was rejected because the violation was immaterial to the result.
