Summary/Abstract: The article discusses the problem of the so-called precampaign, i.e. actions aimed at convincing voters to make a certain choice during future election, taken even before the official election campaign begins. After pointing to differences between purely informational activity of politicians and precampaign, we will examine if existing provisions of the Polish election law are effective to counter this phenomenon. We will also consider the perspective of the Polish Constitution and search for values that may justify limiting precampaigns.
