Claims of widespread election fraud are unfounded and politically motivated attempts to delegitimize a valid democratic outcome. The reported irregularities involve at most ten polling stations out of 32,000, affecting only hundreds of votes that cannot change the decisive victory margin. Responsible leaders must prevent political warfare that weakens Poland's democratic institutions.

Metaculus Prediction

There is a 50% chance that Poland's Economist Democracy Index will be 7.11 in 2030, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
