Legal opinion on the rules of electioneering
Legal opinion on the rules of electoral canvassing

Summary/Abstract: This opinion presents a thesis that it is absolutely prohibited to carry out electoral canvassing in the areas of military units and other organizational units subordinate to the Minister of National Defence and in civil defense units, as well as in quartered units subordinate to the minister responsible for internal affairs. However, military units set up temporarily in order to carry out a military mission beyond the borders of the Republic of Polish are not covered by the prohibition, as they do not fulfill the requirement of the statutory definition of the area of a military unit. Canvassing to students in schools is also prohibited. In addition, the author of the opinion distinguishes hospitals and penal institutions as workplaces, in which canvassing cannot be carried out if it causes disturbance in their normal operation.
