‘Very likely we will not be able to prepare election on May 10’: government

 It is very likely that on May 10 we will not be able to prepare presidential election due to tension political,  said the head of the Chancellery of Prime Minister Michał Dworczyk. The Constitution provides that elections may be held until May 23, he reminded.

He added that "discussions about possible scenarios are ongoing" and that he hopes that this week a bill will be passed that will allow postal voting.

The Senate currently has a special act by PiS, adopted on April 6, according to which the presidential election in 2020 is to be conducted only by postal vote. The session of the chamber is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday. Then the act may return to the Sejm if senators submit amendments or a motion to reject the act in its entirety. An absolute majority of votes is required to reject any objections or amendments of the Senate. Up to date, the three Senate's joint committees recommended that the Senate reject the entire law.
