Conference "Voting in Poland: paper, digital or both?", 14.05.2026

INVITATION

The Dean of the Faculty of Law and Administration at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń - Prof. Maciej Serowaniec, Ph.D. - and the Digivote project team at Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń are pleased to invite you to participate in a conference on the digitization of electoral procedures.

The event is organized as part of the DIGIVOTE project, funded by the “Citizens, Equality, Rights, and Values” (CERV) program.

We look forward to welcoming representatives from academia, experts in electoral law, election officials, cybersecurity specialists, representatives of civil society organizations, and anyone interested in the digitization of electoral processes.

We are convinced that the conference will provide a unique opportunity to exchange ideas and experiences among those interested in the quality of voting and the future of democratic electoral processes in Poland. The conference presentations will follow a past–present–future framework.

The first part will be devoted to the history of voting in Poland, the successive stages of the digitization of electoral processes, and their impact on public trust in elections. The second part will focus on the current state of digitization, citizens’ attitudes and expectations regarding the voting process, as well as the challenges that digitization poses for various groups of participants in democratic life. The third part will take the form of a panel discussion, in which representatives from various backgrounds will speak, jointly discussing the systemic, legal, and societal readiness for the further development of e-solutions in the area of elections.
