You’re asking about the Sejm, the Polish parliament, and how often elections occur. Here’s the core: in Poland, parliamentary elections for Sejm and Senate are held every four years. The Sejm itself comprises 460 deputies, elected by citizens in nationwide elections, and the term runs from the first sitting of the newly elected Sejm until the day before the next Sejm is convened. This four-year cycle applies unless an extraordinary situation prompts an early dissolution, which would shorten the term. If you’d like, I can break down:
- How the Sejm is elected (electoral system, districts, and proportional representation).
- The relationship between Sejm terms and Senate terms.
- Historical patterns of election timing and notable deviations (e.g., early elections) in Poland’s recent history.
