Sunday's referendum not valid

The National Electoral Commission (PKW) announced on Monday that the voter turnout in the referendum held on Sunday amounted to 7.8 percent, which means that it failed to reach a threshold of 50 percent to be legally binding. Over 30 million Poles were eligible to make their voices heard on whether they support single-member constituencies, financing political groupings from the state budget and if they want to introduce a presumption in favor of the taxpayer in disputes over tax law. As many as 78.75 percent backed the idea of introducing single-member constituencies, 82.63 percent were against financing political parties from the state budget and 94.51 percent said yes to the question on tax law.
