The Supreme Court partially rejected a protest against the Polish presidential election, upholding the validity of voter registration via electronic means. While the court acknowledged that the protest regarding the disclosure of election office addresses due to flooding was valid, it found this did not affect the election result. The court ruled that the statutory list of registration methods was not exhaustive and allowed for an adaptive interpretation to include modern electronic channels.
