In recent days, the Speaker of the Sejm officially confirmed the dates of the first and second round of the upcoming presidential elections in Poland.
It is already known that the vote will take place in May, which is of interest to many Poles. Szymon Hołownia, the leader of the Poland 2050 movement, has been announcing from the beginning that the key dates would be announced at the beginning of the year.
Elections in May? That's out of the question
There was speculation in the media about the dates, including May 4, which falls on the popular May weekend. Hołownia, however, dispelled these doubts, emphasizing that organizing elections at that time would be “absurd and against democracy”. The politician also announced further talks with the chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Sylwester Marciniak, to establish final dates.
The future of the pre-election campaign
In addition to the election dates, the first details about the pre-election campaign were also announced. Szymon Hołownia announces dynamic actions to attract public attention and mobilize voters.
