The fundamental claim which accompanied the implementation of alternative vot-ing methods into the Polish Law was the guarantee of the fullest realization of the uni-versal suffrage. The current regulations of the Electoral Code allow people with disabili-ties to vote by mail or by proxy. This deviation from the rule of voting personally in a polling station and enfranchising people with disabilities is a clear sign of the adapta-tion of Polish reality to Western European standards. The enactment of the law and implementation of additional legal solutions are only the first step to a greater change. The current challenges of electoral law are both perfect-ing the new voting methods and educating voters to compel them to vote; that is to exer-cise their constitutional privilege.
