According to the representative of the Supreme Court, Monika Drval, 21 protests regarding the voting results have already been received.
So far, more than 160,000 Poles have signed a petition demanding a recount of votes, particularly in districts where violations were recorded.
“Given the extremely small difference of 369,591 votes between the candidates in the last presidential election, the very large number of invalid ballots – 189,000, as well as numerous reports of irregularities in the work of the election commissions, we consider ourselves obliged to demand a recount of all the votes cast.”, the authors of the petition explained.
It will be recalled that the winner of the presidential elections in Poland was the candidate from the “Law and Justice” party, Karol Nawrocki, who received 50.89% of the votes in the second round.
