Approximately 6:30 p.m. started the third of four press conferences scheduled for Sunday National Electoral Commission. The deputy chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Judge Wojciech Sych, talked about a “noteworthy event that occurred in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.”
– In a certain commune, there was information that the current mayor, who is also taking part in the elections, together with his deputy, transport voters in private cars to vote. Another candidate for mayor in this commune decided to intervene and stopped a car driven by one of these men, and because the other man did not want to stop, he drove several dozen meters on the hood of this car – Sych described the situation.
– Therefore, the event had potentially serious consequences. The man who traveled on the hood was taken to the emergency room. The police confiscated the driver's driving document. It took actions under Article 498 of the Electoral Code (conducting electioneering during the election silence – ed.) and Article 86 of the Petty Offenses Code (threat to road traffic safety – ed.) – he added.
