not exactly Jakub. We need 15000 signatures in at least half districts (7). That's why we need them over 100.000 collected.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/7/11 Jakub Laskowski <<a href="mailto:jakubl@gmail.com">jakubl@gmail.com</a>>:<br>

</div>That's right for local parliament elections, but for EU parliament<br>
situation is slightly different. There are only 13 districts, and we<br>
need 10 000 signatures in each district. If we collect signatures in 7<br>
districts, we can participate in elections in whole country. Like in<br>
Denmark, signer also has to put his full name, address and SSN.<br>
Furthermore, we can't start collecting signatures before elections are<br>
announced by our president (I'm not sure, but Blazej told me that - I<br>
guess he knows that issue much better than me), and we have to collect<br>
all signatures 40 days before elections, so we have only 50 days to do<br>
it.<br>
<br>
In my opinion, it's just impossible to collect all this signatures in<br>
such short period, and Poland probably won't be able to run for 2009<br>
EU parliament elections.<br>
