Parliamentary Inquiry Report: Illegal Preparations for the 2020 Postal-Only Presidential Election
The Parliamentary Investigative Committee found that preparations for the all-postal presidential election in May 2020 were conducted without a legal basis, violating the Constitution and democratic principles. These actions, taken by bypassing the National Electoral Commission, exposed the state budget to multi-million losses and could have disenfranchised millions of citizens. The Committee identifies those responsible and files notifications of suspected crimes.
Key points
The decision for a postal-only election was a political one made by Jarosław Kaczyński, with its execution delegated to PM Mateusz Morawiecki, who issued unlawful administrative decisions.
The election preparations violated fundamental electoral principles (universality, equality, secrecy) and bypassed the National Electoral Commission.
At least 76 million PLN from the state budget was spent on organizing the election, despite awareness that it might not happen due to a lack of political agreement and technical problems.
The Committee notifies the prosecutor's office of suspected crimes by key politicians, including Mateusz Morawiecki, Jarosław Kaczyński, Jacek Sasin, and Mariusz Kamiński.
It was found that the government unlawfully failed to declare a state of natural disaster, which was the only legal way to postpone the election date.
