In some European countries, e.g. Estonia, Belgium or Switzerland, it is possible to vote in elections online. This option is not available in Poland. A pilot for this method of voting may be the presidential elections in 2025, although it would then be an option available only to Poles living abroad. How do Poles feel about online voting? More than half of them (53%) are in favour of being able to participate in elections online, while two-fifths (39%) are against it.
Do you agree that it should be possible to vote in elections online in Poland?

If it were possible to vote online, more than half of Poles (52%) would do it, and more than two fifths (45%) would not. Almost two-thirds of people using the Internet declare their willingness to vote online (63%).
If it were possible, would you vote in the elections online?
