Constitutional Court Expert Criticizes Parliament Debate on Postal Voting Ban as Filled with False Claims

A constitutional law expert has strongly criticized the parliamentary debate over abolishing postal voting in Slovakia, describing it as being overwhelmed with lies, fabrications, and the criminalization of citizens. The expert suggested that Slovakia may eventually need a Constitutional Court ruling that finds a law unconstitutional not only on legal grounds, but also due to false and misleading information being presented in the law's explanatory materials and during parliamentary justification of the proposed legislation. The criticism comes as Slovakia's parliament debates eliminating postal voting, a method that allows citizens to cast ballots by mail rather than appearing in person at polling stations.
