Gloss to the decision of the Supreme Court of November 5th, 2019, I NSW 136/19

Abstract

The text presents some critical remarks to the decision of the Supreme Court of November 5th, 2019 regarding electoral protest against the validity of elections to the Senate of the Republic of Poland in the constituency No. 59. The complainants raised that the District Electoral Commission incorrectly applied the provision from the art. 265a of the Electoral Code in connection with its art. 222 § 1–2 relating to the submission of a new candidate for senator in place of the one eliminated due to death in relation to the art. 9 § 2 E.C., which states that if the time limit for performing an activity specified in the Electoral Code expires on Saturday or a public holiday, the time limit expires on the first working day after that day.
