Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court found the election protest valid due to a clear error in swapping vote counts between two presidential candidates. However, the court ruled that this mistake did not alter the final election outcome because the winner secured enough votes regardless of the clerical error. Consequently, the protest was dismissed, though the court affirmed the Electoral Commission's constitutional duty to correct and publish the accurate results.
