Polish parliamentary elections
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Polish parliamentary elections determine the composition of both chambers of the Polish parliament (the Sejm and the Senate) for the next four years.
Procedure
Both chambers of the Polish parliament are elected directly by Polish citizens.[1]
Elections to both chambers take place simultaneously every four years, on a non-working day.[2]
The right to vote is granted to any Polish citizen who is at least 18 years of age on the election day and who is not legally incapacitated or deprived of public or electoral rights.[2][3]
The right to run for the Sejm is granted to all eligible voters who are at least 21 years of age on the election day, while the right to run for the Senate is granted to all eligible voters who are at least 30 years of age on the election day.[2] Ineligible to stand as candidates are those convicted by the court[2] and those ruled ineligible by a court decision.[3]
The Sejm members are elected by a proportional representation system based on open party lists in multi-member constituencies.[2] Since 2011, the Senate members are elected in single-member constituencies.[4][2]
