Voting of the disable. Selected issues

Abstracts

EN

The article deals with the changes in the Election Code of 2011, aimed at making it easier for people with disabilities to vote. The author gives his support to them, but also offers some adjustments. As concerns voting by correspondence, he proposes to transfer to a later date the deadline for submission of notice of intention of voting, as well as the revision of the requirement of attaching a declaration confirming that the ballot has been filled‑in in person and in a manner guaranteeing secrecy of voting. In addition, the author proposes the extension of postal voting procedures to include other groups of voters. In his opinion, it would be advisable to develop procedures for electronic voting and the introduction of a statutory duty of the municipalities to organize free transportation to the polling stations for elderly and disabled voters.
