Sylwester Marciniak besides told more about the unpleasant event that happened in Szczecin. A 97-year-old female lost consciousness there at the polling station. She came to the election with her son. The callers to the scene failed to save the old lady's life. The female missed her card and voted.
The event itself did not affect the electoral process, the committee continues to operate in the fresh room.
– A violent man broke into the premises in Bielsko-Biała territory and began to riot with another people. As a consequence of the riot, he bit the left forearm of 1 of the committee members. The man was incapacitated by patrol and the actions are led towards Article 222, paragraph 1 of the Criminal Code, or violation of the physical immunity of a associate of the committee," Sylwester Marciniak said of another serious event.
In this committee, too, the vote goes on smoothly.
– According to the study at 10 a.m. of the crimes set out in the electoral code, so far 4 have been recorded – the head of PKW said.
