The Supreme Court dismissed Beaty K.'s election protest against the Polish President submitted via email. Although the applicant argued that the lack of a declared state of disaster violated constitutional equality and procedural rights, the Court ruled that the election law explicitly requires protests to be filed in writing. The court determined that the specific statutory requirement for written submission overrides general provisions allowing electronic filing in other civil proceedings.
