The District Prosecutor's Office in Siedlce is conducting proceedings regarding irregularities in the counting of votes in the presidential election in 2025. The charges were heard by 24 people from the regional election commissions. 12 suspects confessed to the alleged acts.
The case concerns the second round of the presidential election in 2025, in which Karol Nawrocki defeated Rafał Trzaskowski.

According to the District Prosecutor's Office in Siedlce, the suspects were supposed to unreliably count valid and invalid votes in the second round of the presidential election. The allegation also includes unreliable preparation of voting protocols.
The investigators indicate that this action was to cause significant damage to the public interest in the correctness of the elections and the private interest of individual candidates for the President of the Republic of Poland — Karol Nawrocki or Rafał Trzaskowski.
The spokesman of the District Prosecutor's Office in Siedlce, Bartłomiej Świderski, said that 24 people heard the charges. 12 of them admitted to committing the alleged acts and gave explanations.
The alleged act of the suspects was classified under Article 231 paragraph 3 of the Criminal Code, i.e. as a failure to fulfil duties by a public official. This is punishable by a fine, restriction of liberty or imprisonment for up to two years.
The prosecutor's office informs that it is still conducting procedural activities. Other members of the commission are summoned and interrogated, against whom material has been collected to justify the presentation of charges.
At this stage, the investigators do not specify which committees the proceedings concern. The prosecutor's office explains this by the good of the investigation and the need to ensure its proper course.
