In the application mCitizen we have mID, or electronic identity document. Will it be treated on an equal footing with the conventional one, i.e. on the ballot, in the electoral commission? On the 1 hand, people who have lost their ID and have not been able to get it. On the another hand, fake news and various "actions" appear in the media that encourage people who have come to vote with smartphones to make life difficult.
Voting in elections and mObwyatel. Will electronic evidence be important?
There was an authoritative communication on the authoritative PKW website. It follows that, of course, we can show evidence in mCitizen to confirm identity (this was besides the case in the last parliamentary elections).
"Electors have the chance to confirm their identity utilizing mCitizen app. The functionality of mCitizen's application prepared and made available by the Ministry of Digitalization allows to confirm the authenticity, validity, integrity or origin of the paper presented and verify the correctness of its operation" - reads the release.
Moreover, the fresh method of verification, according to the Ministry of Digitalism, "reduces the possible hazard of falsifying mProviding as actual and does not require the usage of additional devices and access to the net and is compatible with the applicable law".
However, the PKW stresses that members of the regional electoral commissions may, in the event of any doubt, usage all available methods of verification and, in utmost cases, if verification of the voter's identity proves impossible, the committee has the right to refuse to issue a ballot.
PKW is besides beating another myths. With a certificate of voting rights
Another story with which PKW is dealt is the expected anticipation of 1 voter obtaining multiple certificates of voting rights. That's not true.
It was explained that "the elector who has been issued a certificate of voting rights is deleted from the list of voters in which he was included. It is so not possible for him to get another certificate".
In addition, each certificate is protected by a hologram imprinted "PRP 2025", and their records are kept in the Central registry of Voters. PKW besides recalls that counterfeiting of electoral papers is simply a crime.
It is besides crucial that "the certificate of the right to vote does not indicate which candidate the voter is voting for", which was besides the subject of false reports.
What about the crosswords on the ballot? Let's remember this erstwhile and for all
The Communication besides recalls the fundamental principles concerning the act of voting itself, which are distorted, for example, in viral memes.
Putting the "X" mark in a box by the name of more than 1 candidate will render the voice invalid. Let us remember this by going to the elections next Sunday (18 May) and each.
