Citizens’ election rights are among the most important political rights in a democratic state. The SARS-CoV–2 pandemic has brought chaos to countries and thus to their proper functioning. Therefore, the authors of the text, analysing the case of the presidential elections in 2020, put forward the thesis that the provisions regulating the rules of these elections contain significant gaps, which were revealed by the pandemic. The Constitution of the Republic of Poland of 1997 contains a catalogue of conditions that make it possible to elect a president under an extraordinary procedure. They all relate to a necessity to shorten the president’s term of office. However, no rules consider the likelihood of other obstacles to voting by the deadline, such as a pandemic.

“…In order to guarantee the highest possible voter turnout (Musiał-Karg, 2021;Malużinas, 2021Malużinas, , p. 2016, which was extremely difficult due to a rapidly spread of the unknown virus and common fear of getting sick and dying, states had to decide on the safest way to participate in the vote or to use exceptional security measures (social distancing, disinfectants, masks, or other solutions recommended by epidemiologists). Particularly in the first period of the pandemic, this task was extremely difficult, as the new coronavirus claimed thousands of lives all over the world.…”

Issues related to electoral participation are extremely complex, not least because of the different approaches of researchers to the issue. The COVID-19 pandemic has contributed to specialists, lawyers, political scientists addressing the issue of electoral participation in the context of public health risks and the implementation of the principle of universality of elections. In order to provide greater guarantee of the principle of universality, many countries are introducing additional forms of voting in elections other than voting at the polling station. Postal voting is one of the alternative voting methods that appears to be the most popular in terms of participation in elections. It exists in different forms in different countries. In Poland, in 2020, there were attempts to implement all-postal voting at first, and then – after the second elections were held – it was decided to use hybrid voting. The aim of this article is to analyze the Polish experience with postal voting in 2020 in the context of the implementation of this tool during the pandemic.

“…An increasing number of papers on pandemic elections is appearing in the academic literature at a rapid pace, but they tend to be concerned with the macro scale -whether challenges to democracy (James & Alihodzic, 2020;Landman & Splendore, 2020), changes in the scale of the pandemic (Cassan & Sangnier, 2020;Palguta et al, 2022), the conduct of the campaign (Oświecimski, 2021;Cipullo & Le Moglie, 2022), voting methods (Kobylski, 2022;Musiał-Karg, 2021;Radwan & Horonziak, 2022) and election results (Bisbee & Honig, 2022;Francois, et al, 2021;Giommoni & Loumeau, 2022), mostly in the form of case studies (Żelichowski, 2021;Salamon, 2022;Jiraskova, 2021;Klinytskyi, 2022). The organisational issues and the implementation of the electoral process at the level of PECs (Precinct Election Commissions) and polling stations are addressed to a lesser extent, and this seems to be the key level both for the effective conduct of elections and for the prevention of pandemonium.…”

The aim of this paper is a comparative analysis of the new methods used to organise the 2020 general elections in Poland and the Czech Republic, which were held in the state of the SARS-19 virus pandemic. This paper analyses the voting methods introduced in connection with sanitary regulations in both countries and the scale of votes cast in this way in relation to the total. It discusses and compares the requirements introduced that voters and electoral commission members had to meet on voting day to minimise the risk of infection with the virus. The text shows a number of similarities in both countries in terms of the measures applied to prevent the spread of the virus associated with a personal visit to a polling station. An additional aspect of the comparative analysis of the covid-voting methods in the two countries was a discussion of voting rules for those infected or in quarantine on voting day. Analysis of the data showed that in both countries the alternative voting method, was not very popular.
