A parliamentary election to both the Senate and the ''Sejm'' (lower house) was held in Poland on 9 October 2011. The previous election, in 2007, resulted in a Civic Platform–Polish People's Party government. All seats of both Houses were up for re-election. Prime Minister Donald Tusk's Civic Platform (PO) won a plurality of seats and Tusk became the first Polish prime minister to be appointed for a second consecutive term since the fall of communism. Both the Civic Platform and its junior partner, the Polish People's Party (PSL), agreed to continue their governing coalition after the election. ==Electoral system== The election was for all 460 seats of the Sejm and all 100 seats of the Senate. Candidates for Deputies are nominated either by the electoral committees of the various political parties and or by individual voter committees.〔http://www.sejm.gov.pl/english/sejm/pos.htm〕 The process of election for the Sejm is through party-list proportional representation via the D'hondt method in multi-seat constituencies (41 in total),〔http://electionresources.org/pl/〕 with a 5% threshold for single parties and 8% threshold for coalitions (requirements waived for national minorities).〔"Republic Of Poland." ''Background Notes On Countries Of The World 2003'' (2003): 1-13. ''Academic Search Premier.'' Web. 22 Dec. 2011.〕 The election was the first one to take place under a new Election Code which altered the electoral system in the Senate election from a plurality block voting to the first-past-the-post voting, with one member to be returned in each of the 100 single member constituencies.〔http://welections.wordpress.com/2011/10/12/poland-2011/〕 There were 25,993 precincts for 30,512,850 voters.〔http://wybory2011.pkw.gov.pl/geo/en/000000.html#tabs-1〕 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「Polish parliamentary election, 2011」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
