Today, the deadline for signing under candidacy in the upcoming presidential election has passed. Even that day, respective of them delivered boxes full of letters almost at the last minute! After 4:00 p.m. on Friday, 4 April, this is no longer possible. However, we inactive do not have a clear situation, who will yet be among the candidates (except those whose candidatures have already been confirmed) due to the fact that the PKW has to check whether the letters of signature comply with the requirements. However, a preliminary ranking of presidential candidates is already available. We replace them below.
The May presidential election is approaching. It will undoubtedly be the most crucial political event of this year, which can decide not only who will replace Andrzej Duda after 2 full word in the Presidential Palace, but besides whether the current position quo in the Polish parliament will remain.
Some politicians point out that presidential elections can not only be a test before parliamentary elections in just over 2 years, but can actually contribute to early elections – if a candidate not tied to the current ruling block would win.
For this moment, key candidates in the presidential election are Rafał Trzaskowski from the Civic Coalition, Karol Nawrocki supported by the Law and Justice and Sławomir Mentzen, representing the Confederate in the race. Although anything is possible in politics, so far polls propose that only these 3 have a real chance to enter the 2nd circular of elections.
List of presidential candidates
However, you must not forget about the remainder of the race participants, which will not be a few, or at least a dozen. The following is the full list of candidates taking into account the position of examination of their candidates by the State Election Commission.
The required number of signatures has already been submitted:
- Adrian Zandberg

- Grzegorz Braun
- Joanna Senyszyn
- Karol Nawrocki
- Magdalena Biejat
- Marek Woch,

A full of candidates can so be in this year's presidential election as many as 16. And the election tour will be held on May 18.
