The question came to us about how to give the floor," Tkacz said. As he explained, in the light of the Polish legislation, there will be no specified possibility, officials can “do nothing but postpone the mission”.

PKW associate Ryszard Balicki noted that helping could be American billionaire Elon Musk. – alternatively of arguing with abroad Minister Radosław Sikorski, he could make certain the cargo ship took the package on time and returned. Then the case would be settled," he said.

It turns out, however, that would be impossible. Z the anticipation of a correspondence vote can be exercised by persons over 60 years old, with a disability ruling, or in quarantine or isolation. Uznański-Wiśniewski does not meet any of these conditions. PKW members joked even about the anticipation of beginning committees on a space station. However, no real solution was found.

– Thousands, possibly tens of thousands of Poles during this time will travel in aircraft and ships between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. and they won't be able to vote either," he concluded president of PKW Sylwester Marciniak.
