Janusz Kowalski used someone else's card and voted.

During a session of the Polish parliament (Sejm), MP Janusz Kowalski was accused of using another MP's voting card during a vote. The incident was reported by Krzysztof Paszyk, leader of the PSL parliamentary club, who stated that Kowalski had taken away the voting card of MP Jarosław Rzepa and possibly used it to cast his vote. Kowalski later admitted that he had made an 'ordinary mistake' and accidentally used Rzepa’s card instead of his own during votes 9 and 10. He explained that he believed he had taken out his own card but discovered the error afterward and returned the card. Kowalski also mentioned that he informed the speaker of the parliament, Władysław Czarzasty, about the mistake. The matter has been referred to the prosecution and the Parliamentary Ethics Committee for further investigation.
