Polish parliament passes new election rules ahead of 2023 vote


WARSAW (Reuters) - The Polish parliament late on Thursday adopted an amendment to the electoral code aimed at boosting voter turnout at this year's general election, a move the opposition argues is illegal and will benefit the ruling party.

Under the new law, more polling stations could be created in villages with as few as 200 inhabitants and buses to polling stations would have to be organised for people over 60 or with disabilities if no regular public transport is available.
