Abstract

[The aim of the study is to characterise the political orientations of the Polish electorate in the Sejm elections in 1991–2019. In order to obtain a comparable regional system while analysing the spatial variability of the election results, all elections were reduced to the 41 constituency system (the division operating since 2001 in elections to the Sejm). In addition to the fairly traditional division of the orientation (into left-wing parties, right-wing Christian parties, etc.), an analysis of the rivalry between the main political groups was made—Law and Justice (PiS) and Civic Platform (PO), or its mutation the Civic Coalition in 2019—in relation to the elections to the Sejm in 2005, 2007, 2011, 2015 and 2019, as well as the transgression of popularity among the PiS electorate. An important issue is also the search for regional factors of variability in support of parties and candidates for the President of the Republic of Poland in the territorial pattern of the 41 constituencies.]
