Abstract

Elections held in the time of the COVID-19 pandemic are an excellent basis to review currently binding electoral law measures prescribed for the event of extraordinary situations. The last years in Poland, which have seen the presidential and numerous mid-term local elections, have given us enough material to review existing relevant measures and to propose changes in those areas which have turned out problematic under the pandemic circumstances. The aim of this chapter is to examine which legislative solutions caused difficulties in the pandemic-related circumstances. This study also intends to determine whether the experience from electoral practice stands a chance to translate into specific actions of the Polish legislator to ensure fair and democratic elections should similar circumstances occur in the future. The study analyses the laws in force and relevant views of legal scholars and commentators.

The case study of 2020 Polish has shown that the legislator focused mainly on adopting measures for presidential elections that were particularly important from the political point of view. The question of organization and holding of mid-term local elections, which are also important form the citizensâ perspective, is left on the margin.
