Abstract: Although it never prevailed, i-voting has been present in the public discourse in Poland for over ten years. Despite declarations of some political parties to implement innovative voting methods to facilitate the election process for eligible citizens, no legal basis has been created for i-voting as yet. In 2020, the Covid-19 pandemic exposed weaknesses of a limited range of voting methods available both in ordinary and extraordinary situations. The paper analyses and explains the support for additional election methods among voters in Poland. The analysis of demographic features and political preferences highlights differences in opinions on i-voting as a remote voting method. The research is based on a statistical analysis of data from a survey conducted in Poland between March and May 2018.
