In Vancouver, Canada, at the local Consulate General of the Republic of Poland, representatives of the Sejmik Województwa Dolnośląskiego who are visiting abroad at this time also cast their ballots. The local government officials stressed that taking part in elections is not only a civic duty, but also an important symbol of unity with Poles around the world.
The presidential election is a special moment for the Polish diaspora abroad—many emigrants, despite the distance separating them from their homeland, want to actively participate in the public life of their country. According to data from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, a record number of people registered this year to vote outside Poland.
