Abstract:
The quota mechanism introduced into the Polish electoral system in 2011 was an important step towards guaranteeing equal opportunities in electoral process for both men and women. Women are a minority group on the Polish political scene. Their share of positions in both central and local elected bodies does not exceed 30%. This report is a description of the situation of Polish women in politics since 1989, with a particular emphasis on local elections in 2010 and parliamentary elections in 2011. Authors analyze the first Polish elections in which quota mechanisms and First Past-The-Post system were implemented. They recommend solutions which would strengthen the role of women in politics.
