Incidents involving questions about the referendum map
There has been circulating on social media since this morning reports that voters were asked, by some election committee members, whether they also wanted to obtain a card with the referendum questions.
Marcin Wikło, a journalist for the weekly Sieci and the portal wPolityce.pl, observed a similar situation in Bielany, Warsaw. The publicist said that committee members should offer the referendum map out of courtesy rather than press for it.
CHECK THE DETAILS: Reported only here. Poles voting abroad were asked for referendum cards, and voters faced issues in places like London and Bielefeld.
This pattern appeared across Poland and also in election commissions abroad, as noted by readers of the wPolityce.pl portal.
– ONLY HERE. Readers of the wPolityce.pl portal raised alarms about questions concerning the referendum map across the country. One observer asserted that a formal report should be prepared.

The chairman of the National Electoral Commission, Sylwester Marciniak, stated on Sunday that it is improper to ask a voter whether they want a ballot card for a referendum, the Sejm, or the Senate.
When a voter goes to a polling station, their intention is to cast a vote. Only if the voter explicitly rejects any card should the commission include this information in the commentary, he emphasized.
Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki also commented on X, noting that additional questions about the referendum map disrupt electoral silence and should be reported, calling them distressing signals.
