The next presidential election might take place by post only in Poland, a process whose democratic, legitimate character is dubious.

In May, Poland might witness an unprecedented presidential election: one without polling stations and ballot boxes that will be held solely by post. The context is as follows: on 13 March, as part of the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic, Poland closed its borders, banned rallies and imposed confinement. This will gradually be lifted, but schools and universities as well as shops, except for food stores, will remain closed and international passenger transport will be suspended at least until 26 April. The borders will remain closed until 3 May.
