Envelope election
We would like to remind you that in May 2020, according to the concept of the then government, the elections should have been held by the correspondence of the President of the Republic of Poland. The so-called COVID-19 pandemic was named as the reason. However, in the end, envelope voting was abandoned. The elections were held traditionally. The cost of the unrealized project was supposed to reach PLN 70 million, but these issues will only be thoroughly discussed.
