Zasada demokratycznego państwa prawnego a zmiany w prawie wyborczym
Journal Title: Studia Wyborcze - Year 2018, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
Democratic electoral law is the essence of representative democracy. In December 2017 and January 2018, the Sejm and Senate have passed hugely controversial law amending inter alia Polish Electoral Code. Its adoption was opposed by the parliamentary opposition, by the electoral administration bodies and by many experts, but unsuccessfully. The President of the Republic signed that and ordered its promulgation in the Journal of Laws of the Republic of Poland. The most controversial proposals concerned the changes in electoral administration and limiting the mayor (city president) to two terms in office. This law, pushed through by Law and Justice, the ruling party, in Author’s opinion will lead to politicization of the electoral administration, so there are risks of a loss the transparency of the election
