Electoral Code Amendments: Facilitating Mail-in and Overseas Voting.
The act introduces significant changes to voting procedures, especially for Poles living abroad and those voting by mail. It simplifies participation in elections by allowing voting with an ID card and expanding mail-in voting options, aiming to increase the accessibility of the electoral process for citizens.
Key points
Ability to vote abroad using a valid Polish ID card, not just a passport.
Creation of special electoral commissions abroad exclusively for mail-in voting if at least 100 voters register their intent.
Extension of mail-in voting options in Poland to all elections, except local government elections, unless the voter is disabled or at least 60 years old.
Simplification of the procedure for declaring intent to vote by mail, including the option for telephone registration for disabled individuals and those in quarantine.
Mail-in ballot packages for voters in Poland will be delivered by a designated postal operator directly to the voter, and these shipments will be exempt from postal fees.
