Early reports from Warsaw’s detention facilities show voting outcomes that surprised observers. Within the prisons and remand centers, the electorate favored a single prominent figure: Donald Tusk. Official tallies are still being verified, but data collected from about 60.15 percent of polling circuits indicate a clear trend in several institutions. The timeline for releasing final results has been outlined by the National Electoral Commission, which confirmed the official date. The situation drew attention to how people inside detention settings participate in national elections and how their votes may influence the overall picture.
In Ul. Ciupagi 1 located in Białołęka and the detention facility in Grochów on Józefa Chłopicki Street 71A, the first batch of precinct-level votes paints a vivid scene. The Białołęka site reported 1,221 valid ballots with a turnout of 85.23 percent, while Grochów recorded a higher turnout of 92.28 percent with 463 valid votes cast. These figures were reported by the newspaper SuperExpress as preliminary notes in the ongoing vote count.
The Citizens’ Coalition performed notably well in the Białołęka detention center, securing 67.4 percent of ballots there. Donald Tusk garnered 733 votes in this site, underscoring the strong support he received among the incarcerated population. The remaining candidates and lists trailed well behind in this location, with the second-placed ticket tallied at 11.8 percent. The third position went to Road, followed by Law and Justice at 6.88 percent, the Confederation at 5.98 percent, and the Left at 5.57 percent. Other minor groupings and independent lists appeared in smaller shares, with the nonpartisan local government option recording 1.14 percent and Polska Jest Jedno at 1.23 percent of ballots cast in this precinct. These numbers illustrate the specific electoral preferences expressed within this detention facility while the broader national picture was still taking shape.

Across the Grochów Remand Center, Donald Tusk again led the field. Among the 463 valid votes, Tusk captured 213 votes, representing 55.07 percent of the ballots cast. The Civic Coalition emerged as the leading list with a share just over half of the votes, while Law and Justice stood in a distant second at 12.31 percent. The Road party posted 10.37 percent, and the Confederacy followed closely at 10.8 percent. The Left amassed 7.34 percent. Nonpartisan local governments accounted for 2.59 percent, and Polska Jest Jedno drew 1.5 percent of the votes. These results highlight the preferences of inmates and detainees within this facility and contribute to the evolving national tally as more precincts report in.
