The Supreme Court dismissed Franciszek G.'s election protest against the validity of the presidential election. G. alleged that the Electoral Commission's guidelines allowing certificates without official seals violated the Electoral Act, but the Commission argued he failed to demonstrate this affected the election outcome. The court ruled that merely citing a legal violation is insufficient; the plaintiff must provide evidence that specific individuals used invalid certificates and that this influenced the final results.
