President consults lawyers about election law

An almost week-long delay in the announcement of local election results has prompted President Bronisław Komorowski to meet lawyers specializing in constitution issues and talk to them about the voting law in Poland, Polish Radio. The president met with a group of lawyers, including the present and former heads of the Constitutional Tribunal, Andrzej Rzepliński and Jerzy Stępień. Former State Electoral Commission (PKW) head Ferdynand Rymarz was also present. The talks focused on possible changes in the election law and on the possibility of announcing new local election. The president earlier said that, despite problems, the latest ballot should not be repeated. On Tuesday, Komorowski plans to meet Stefan Jaworski, the current president of the PKW, who filed his resignation last Friday.
