First Conference
Elections will last at 7.00 to 1.00
At the first conference of the State Election Commission held at 10:00, no attendance information was provided. However, it has been said that the elections run calm and without major problems. The only incidental occurred in Legnica, where there was no power in 1 of the premises. In Słupsk, however, mislists of voters were issued in 1 of the premises and there was no electricity in another.
At 12.10 p.m., the State Electoral Commission issued a communication that it should be pointed out to the committees that it is the voter who has the right to refuse to accept any of the ballots, while the circuit board cannot ask the voters to issue the cards. Therefore, if you are not planning to vote in a referendum, it is worth mentioning it first.
In connection with very many complaints to the State Election Commission that the peripheral electoral commissions are asking voters which ballots to issue, the PKW recommends that it be communicated immediately that specified action is unacceptable.
