2023 Polish parliamentary election

The next parliamentary elections to the Sejm and Senate will be held in the autumn of 2023, although they can be held sooner if a snap election is called, which last occurred in 2007. The most recent election, in 2019, resulted in the re-election of the Law and Justice government, albeit without a majority in the Senate.

Electoral system

The process of election for the Sejm is through party-list proportional representation via the D'hondt method in multi-seat constituencies,[1] with a 5% threshold for single parties and 8% threshold for coalitions (with the requirements waived for national minorities).

The date of the election will be set by the President of Poland.
