Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland found that the Electoral Commission violated Article 29 of the Presidential Election Act and Regulation § 14(5) by allowing non-standard voting certificates. Although the protest was deemed admissible regarding these procedural errors, the Court determined the violations were formal and did not impact the election outcome. Consequently, the protest was partially dismissed as the errors lacked material significance to the final result.
