It's been hot all morning.
– There were 13 cases of harm and removal of announcements and 1 case of indecent inscription or drawing. There have been 4 cases of posting posters and election slogans," said justice Wojciech Zych, deputy president of PKW this morning. He besides informed about 29 cases of agitation during the silence of the election.
In the end, PKW reported that these violations on election day were over 200.
PKW referendum
Some voters on social media reported that they were asked if they wanted to receive election cards and a referendum card. PKW felt that this was unacceptable due to the fact that a associate of the election committee cannot ask specified questions. The voter may resign from the referendum, asking himself to note this by the committee:
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.

Cases of questions from the committee about the referendum card are reported in various parts of Poland," said PKW spokesperson Marcin Chmielnicki on Sunday. The full scale of the phenomenon will be known only after the elections and the referendum," he added.
Piotr Sarnacki, manager of the Olsztyn delegation, told PAP that all electoral commissions received appropriate guidance from PKW, and so asking specified questions about card collection is out of place. "In addition, our election officials contact each committee and further instruct the committee members not to ask specified questions. These are both telephone and individual contacts at polling stations," said the manager of the Olsztyn delegation of the CWB.
Pencil case
At the polling station in Sopot, the voter refused to accept the referendum card, while the associate of the committee noted this in the minutes with a pencil. The case was referred to by the head of the National Election Office Magdalena Pietrzak during a press conference.
– It's written in the guidelines. There's no way there's a pencil and then we wipe anything off. This note should be visible as in any print of strict accounting. You can't blur anything, compose it with a pencil, you just delete it so that there's annotation that's been deleted. And next to the signature of a associate of the committee," said the head of the National Election Office.
Mr Sylwester Marciniak besides spoke on this issue:
“We will send the territory Electoral Commission to check if this is the authentic message, if possibly individual just posted (inscription – ed.) on the Internet, due to the fact that there are quite a few specified messages that are very surprising, and after checking they are not real,” said Marciniak.
My husband took my wife's card.
Today there has besides been a truly curiosity incident. In Zakopane, a man took his wife's ballot card, then left the premises with a part of paper.
In Gorlice, however, the voter threw a torn card into the urn. In Nowy Sącz 1 of the voters raised a referendum card outside the polling station. Katarzyna Cisło from the Lesser Poland Police Press squad informed about this.
Agitator in Tczew
A associate of the Tczew committee called for a vote on 1 of the political parties. Upon the arrival of the police, he was excluded from the committee's line-up," said the head of PKW at a press conference.
An older female from Pruszkow tore the cards
W Pruszków had an incidental involving an aged woman, who tore up 2 referendum cards and 2 more to vote for MPs and senators. These were the cards that the old woman and her husband received.
No stamp on the ballot
On page X, it was loud about a card without a stamp that 1 of the voters was to receive, which – as he wrote – could indicate fraud:
I'm sitting, thinking, and I know.
Election scams start.
I got a card without a patle. It's not a coincidence. The card was from a box under the committee table. Why did I get 1 without a dumbbell? due to the fact that I gave up my referendum card! After the intervention, I got stuck out of a box on top. Cheaters!!! pic.twitter.com/rs0NzWHo2
