2002 Polish local elections

The 2002 Polish local elections were held in two parts, with the first round on 27 October and the second on 10 November 2002. All 16 provincial voivodeship sejmiks, 314 powiat county councils, 2,748 Gmina municipal councils, and town and city mayors were up for election. The event was the first of its kind to allow direct elections for mayors of municipalities.^[3] The local polls followed one year after the decisive victory of the Democratic Left Alliance in the 2001 parliamentary elections and were seen as a test of the popularity of the Democratic Left Alliance and Polish People's Party coalition government under Prime Minister Leszek Miller.
