Today, May 18, voting began in Poland for the presidential election, in which 13 candidates are participating.

12. Marek Woch (candidate from the "Non-Party self-defense"),
13. Adrian Zandberg (MP, candidate from the “Razem” party).

Currently, until the end of the vote, there is an election silence, which is broken by any element of active election campaigning - public appeals or encouragement to a certain way of voting.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, in Poland it was stated that the country is facing an unprecedented attempt by russia to interfere in the presidential election by spreading disinformation and cyberattacks.
