ABSTRACT
The
aim of this paper is to discuss the concept of electronic voting (e-voting) in
Polish legal system with particular emphasis on conclusions de lege lata and de
lege ferenda in respect of the discussed subject. The research methodology
assumes the use of, in particular, an analytical method, consisting, inter
alia, in the analysis of legal regulations. Results and findings point that so
far e-voting has not been yet introduced (either on the constitutional, or the
statutory level) in Poland. Having regard to the fact that the currently
binding Constitution does not preclude such introduction (naturally provided
that compliance with the constitutionally set standard of elections is met, in
particular the principle of universality, directness and secrecy of voting) one
has to conclude that the introduction of electronic voting into the Polish law
in the longer time perspective seems to be justified. This is supported by
various factors including inter alia the policy of public authorities, gradual
implementation of reforms aimed at creating and developing modern public
administration system (e-Government), both in the country and on the EU level,
as well as considerable support for this mechanism among the public in Poland.
