Poczta Polska successfully served the correspondence part of the presidential election

Poczta Polska served a total of almost 374 thousand election packages during both presidential elections. In both rounds of elections were involved:

• in delivery of packages of over 12,000 of our employees,
• Nearly 3.7 thousand employees were emptying postal mailboxes on pre -election Saturdays as well as the same number of people were involved in the work of postal facilities on election weekends to develop a material prepared for service to the regional election committees,
• Over 4.7 thousand employees participated in the transfer to individual OKW Return envelopes with voters' votes or unpaid election packages,
• When serving correspondence voting, postal workers used nearly 4.7 thousand motor vehicles used in the implementation of tasks for correspondence voting.

The distribution of packages intended for voting throughout Poland ended on July 10 this year. Their delivery took place in accordance with the deadlines resulting from generally applicable regulations.

On July 12, feedback and election packages were delivered to 14,567 OKW. According to the assumptions, there were 25,433 OKW to handle, but due to the lack of back envelopes and election packages to some of these committees - which resulted from the lack of entries of the desire to vote correspondence within them - they did not require dedicated service by employees of Poczta Polska.

- Poczta Polska, as a national postal operator, remains ready to carry out tasks similar to servicing elections in the form of a correspondence. The company is prepared for such special actions and fulfills them very well. Another example of this type of activity is the provision of tests for matura exams, eighth graders, for vocational schools and the so -called legal tests. These are shipments that must reach specific places in a specific, non -standard time interval. Thank you to our employees for commitment and meeting a very responsible task - said Tomasz Zdzikot, President of the Board of Poczta Polska.

Postcards who, as part of servicing the presidential election, spread packages to people staying on quarantine, apart from the standard used personal protection measures during the pandemic period were additionally equipped with FFP2 masks and protective aprons. Disabled and quarantine people had the opportunity to throw the package into a special mobile mailbox.

Electoral packages were broadcast by municipal offices only as registered shipments. They were marked with a special print "Electoral parcel". The distribution took place in the commissions for distribution of electoral packages, consisting of a postman and a team member. Similarly, the delivery of returnable envelopes and election packages to OKW on the day of election took place in double cast.
