In this article, the focus is on the exercise of the right to freedom of expression during election campaigns. This encompasses the freedom to hold opinions as well as to receive and impart information in the pre‑election period. Based on an analysis of the case law of Polish district courts and courts of appeal, it has been established that these courts, relying on the provisions of the Electoral Code, safeguard the exercise of freedom of speech and the freedom to express opinions, which together constitute fundamental pillars of electoral freedom. In addition to a review of judicial decisions and, where necessary, the relevant literature, the article also employs the dogmatic‑legal method (statutory analysis).
