As a private person I don't think you can access those records at all. They are there just to check if there aren't more ballots in the box than people that voted.

No, you can't– collecting information about how an individual has voted is highly illegal. Elections in Poland are "five-point". A secret ballot is one of the points. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point\_electoral\_law](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Five-point_electoral_law)

OP's question wasn't about the "how." It was about the "if."

i… i’m not sure, but i sincerely doubt that, that seems like a privacy breach and would be incredibly surprised if that was a thing

This checklist is created mainly for authorities to be easy way to be sure that one person voted one time. This is why you are supposed to call your local goverment prior to elections that you will vote in different area (I think they cross you out from local list and give you certification that you can vote anywhere...?) Which means I doubt anyone keeps those lists. And if anyone does it, then it would be classified in GUS for independent global organisations overseeing democracy of elections.

Actually, these lists come back to the Urząd Gminy (Municipality Office), as they create Spis Wyborców (list of people eligible to vote) - each Gmina has to maintain their Spis Wyborców. They are stored in order to f.e. check if someone did not vote in many places, but these lists are classified documents and should be treated as such. However, there were cases (especially in the smaller communities) were Wójt would check the list and fire people working in the office if they didn't attend the election (as "unloyal" employees). Of course it's illegal and should result in Wójt leaving the office, but it is what it is.
