We report on the follow-up of the extremely bright gamma-ray burst GRB 210619B with optical polarimetry. We conducted optopolarimetric observations of the optical afterglow of GRB 210619B in the SDSS-r band in the time window ~ 5967 – 8245 seconds after the burst, using the RoboPol instrument at the Skinakas observatory. We find signs of variability of the polarization degree as well as the polarization angle during the time of observations. We also note a significant rise in polarization value and a significant change in the polarization angle towards the end of our observations. This is the first time such behavior is observed in this timescale.
