Summary/Abstract: Postal and proxy votes were implemented in Polish electoral law a decade ago. According to legislators, their aim was to execute the constitutional principle of universal elections. In the course of time, the regulations have been significantly modified several times. The aim of this study is to answer the questions whether the legislator has managed to diagnose the problems connected with postal and proxy vote successfully and whether further amendments solved them, as well as to examine whether the existing rules are compliant with the constitutional legitimisation.
