A parliamentary voting session, which began yesterday at 11 PM, dragged on until the early morning hours. At the last minute, in the dead of night, Law and Justice proposed amendments to the anti-crisis package, which, as a consequence, revised the Electoral Code.

According to the proposed change, individuals in quarantine and isolation, as well as those over 60 years of age, would have the option of correspondence voting in elections.  

The opposition pointed out that such a procedure for amending the Electoral Code violates the Sejm's regulations governing changes to electoral law, as well as rulings by the Constitutional Tribunal, which years ago determined that significant changes to the Electoral Code must be made no later than six months before elections.

Law and Justice also amended the provisions concerning the Tripartite Labour Council (Rada Dialogu Społecznego). These changes grant the Prime Minister the authority to dismiss members of the Tripartite Labour Council – representatives of employers and employees – during a state of epidemic threat and epidemic. One of the grounds for dismissal can be the fact of cooperation with PRL security services.

Ultimately, MPs from PiS and KO voted in favor of the government's anti-crisis package, while Lewica and Koalicja Polska voted against it, and Confederation abstained.
