Postal voting: new rules for voters at home and abroad
The act introduces detailed rules for postal voting in parliamentary, presidential, and European elections. Voters abroad will be able to vote by post, while people with disabilities and seniors over 60 will gain this option in local elections as well. The required documents for voting abroad also change – an ID card will suffice instead of a passport.
Key points
Postal voting available for voters abroad in Sejm, Senate, presidential, and European Parliament elections.
People with significant or moderate disabilities and those over 60 can vote by post in local elections too.
For voting abroad, a valid ID card or passport is now sufficient – not just a passport as before.
Voters abroad must register for postal voting 30 days before elections; in Poland – 13 days before.
Voting packages in Poland are delivered by postman to the voter's hands; abroad – sent by consul or collected personally.
Election mail is free of charge for voters in Poland.
In case of quarantine or isolation, voters can register for postal voting in a shortened deadline – up to 3 days before elections.
Postal voting and proxy voting are mutually exclusive – you must choose one form.
