On 6 May, Gowin and Jarosław Kaczyński, the leader of Law and Justice struck an agreement to move the elections. The two parties had earlier been engaged in a political struggle over whether the elections should proceed in May. On 7 May, the Sejm approved legislation for the election to be held via postal ballot. That same day, PKW announced that "The current legal regulation deprived the National Electoral Commission of the instruments necessary to perform its duties. In connection with the above, the National Electoral Commission informs voters, election committees, candidates, election administration and local government units that voting on May 10, 2020 cannot take place."
