01.06.2025 ⇢ The Day Exit Polls Reversed
⌨Voting proceeded with exceptional turnout reaching 54.91% by evening, described as potentially record-breaking for presidential elections. Early morning brought scattered violations of electoral silence, with police recording 148 incidents by midday. The Electoral Commission faced controversies over election workers wearing red jewelry and disputes about voting certificates for citizens abroad.

Exit polls at 7 PM initially showed Trzaskowski leading, prompting premature victory declarations. However, late polling data reversed the outcome, placing Nawrocki ahead and causing what sources described as "screams of joy" in PiS headquarters. The reversal continued through the evening, with Nawrocki's lead expanding from narrow margins to 51-49% by late night.

A man died after collapsing at a polling station in Krakow. The race's geographic polarization became evident, with Trzaskowski dominating cities by margins reaching 67.8% while Nawrocki carried rural areas with 63.4% support.
