The Supreme Court of Poland found the protest against the presidential election partially justified regarding a specific absence of election commission members. While the court acknowledged this procedural flaw, it ruled that the violation did not influence the final election outcome. Consequently, the protest was accepted on this narrow ground but dismissed for other claims falling outside the election law's scope.
