Elections in Poland gives information on election and election results in Poland. Poland has a multi-party political system. Poland elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. There are also various local elections, referendums and elections to the European Parliament. Poland has a long history of elections dating several centuries, including the elections to Sejm from 1182 and the elective monarchy from 1569 to 1795. There were also elections in the Second Polish Republic (1918–1939), and the People's Republic of Poland, although most of the latter are considered to have been rigged. == Modern Poland == Since 1991, Polish elections operate according to a typical parliamentary system. Poland has a multi-party political system, with numerous parties in which no one party often has a chance of gaining power alone, and parties must work with each other to form coalition governments. Poland elects on national level a head of state – the president – and a legislature. The president is elected for a five-year term by the people. The National Assembly has two chambers. The parliament (''Sejm'') has 460 members, elected for a four-year term by party lists in multi-seat constituencies with a 5% threshold for single parties and 8% threshold for coalitions, (requirement waived for national minorities). The ''Senate'' (''Senat'') has 100 members elected for a four-year term via the first past-the-post system, with 100 single member constituencies. Prior to the 2011 parliamentary elections, elections to the Senate were conducted through plurality bloc voting in 40 multi-seat constituencies. Since 1991 elections are supervised by National Electoral Commission (''Państwowa Komisja Wyborcza''), whose administrative division is called the National Electoral Office (''Krajowe Biuro Wyborcze''). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Elections in Poland」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
