Electoral commission website hacked

Problems continue at Poland’s State Electoral Commission (PKW), which on Tuesday was still not able to announce the final results of the Sunday local elections. On Monday nights, its website was attacked by hackers. The PKW said that it has informed the Internal Security Agency of the incident and that its main vote counting servers were unaffected. “Vote counting continues,” a statement from the PKW read. The commission has so far only announced the results of mayoral elections. In 1,584 cities and municipalities the leaders were chosen in the first round, while in 890 of them, a second round will be needed. In Warsaw, Civic Platform candidate and incumbent mayor Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz collected 47.19 percent of the votes and Law and Justice candidate Jacek Sasin got 27.31 percent.
