Electoral Administration in Poland. Present Legal Solutions and Possible Future Changes
Wojciech Orłowski
Abstract
The paper deals with the issues concerning the so far existing model of the election administration and the problems connected with the regional and local elections conducted in December 2014 in Poland. The computer system failure making it impossible to announce the election results on time challenged the social confidence in the election process and led to questioning the range and necessity of changes within the election system. The paper discusses in detail the origin and evolution of the election administration bodies underlining its specific character i.e. its composition of independent judges. Evaluating the National Election Committee activity alternative solutions are presented — the ones recommended in the election law by the Council of Europe through its Venice Commission.
