Election changes: new rules for electoral commissions

This bill changes the rules for nominating candidates to electoral commissions to prevent 'ghost committees' from influencing the process. Only committees that have actually registered candidates in a given district will be able to nominate members to the local commission. This aims to make elections more transparent and fair for all voters.
Key points
Only electoral committees that have registered a candidate list or a candidate in a given district can nominate their representatives to electoral commissions.
Each such committee can nominate only one candidate to a specific commission.
If more candidates are nominated than seats available, the commission members will be chosen by public drawing of lots.
The new rules will take effect 14 days after announcement, but for electoral commissions they will apply only after 6 months to allow for preparation.
Outdated county names (e.g., Jeleniogórski replaced with Karkonoski) were updated and minor language errors in the code were corrected.
