Abstract
The focal point of this paper is voter turnout in the self-government elections in Poland.
Particular attention is given to the turnout in the city with district rights, Łódź. This city provides
an interesting place of research, both on account of its peculiar location in the center of
Poland, and its recent cultural, economic and political transformation. A local referendum on
the dismissal of the city mayor, held on January 10, 2010, is worth mentioning. Łódź was the first large Polish city (with a population of over 500,000) where a one-man executive organ
was dismissed before the end of his term.
In the paper, the results of parliamentary election turnouts are juxtaposed with self-government
election turnouts. Voter turnout is analyzed for each term of the self-government in
Łódź, and the types and reasons for absence are indicated. The author uses these data to emphasize
that over the twenty years of self-government’s existence, voting procedures in Poland
have not changed and are the most conservative in Europe.
