The Polish Senate on Tuesday rejected a government proposal to conduct a presidential election scheduled for May 10 as a postal ballot because of the coronavirus pandemic, in a widely anticipated hurdle for the ruling nationalists.

The final say rests with the lower house of Parliament, the Sejm, where PiS holds a fragile majority. The Sejm is scheduled to vote on the draft law later this week. Critics say that only Duda was effectively able to campaign ahead of the election, with other candidates constrained by restrictions on public life imposed by the government to contain the spread of the virus.
It may still lose the vote later this week, with some members of its conservative parliamentary coalition expressing opposition to postal voting this month because of health concerns due to the pandemic. That could plunge Poland into political turmoil at a time when a decisive response is needed to prop up a teetering economy.
