The bill to amend the Electoral Code, submitted by the Law and Justice party (PiS), will not be put to a vote in the current Sejm session, despite the ruling party's plans for an expedited legislative process just days ago. The first reading took place on Wednesday evening, followed by a committee meeting on Thursday where amendments were introduced. After this, progress stalled as the second reading was not scheduled.

Potentially, the Sejm's regulations may have presented an obstacle. Article 89 of the Sejm's standing orders states that the first reading of a bill amending a code, or a bill introducing amendments to provisions that enact a code, cannot take place earlier than fourteen days after the draft has been delivered to the members of parliament.

Article 87 does stipulate that the Marshal of the Sejm has the final say on whether a bill is considered a codifying bill. However, following a similar legislative process for amendments to the Penal Code during the recent European Parliament campaign – and the Marshal's reliance on this article – the President referred the Penal Code amendment to the Constitutional Tribunal, partly due to doubts regarding the legislative process.

According to PiS, the bill concerns regulations aimed at introducing adjustments to the provisions governing the composition of the Supreme Court that handles electoral law cases. In practice, this means that the Supreme Court, composed of the entire Chamber of Extraordinary Control and Public Affairs, would decide on the validity of elections, including presidential and Sejm elections.
