Voters will elect mayors as well as members of municipal councils and provincial assemblies.
Voters across Poland are casting ballots in local elections in the first electoral test for the coalition government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk nearly four months since it took power
In all there are nearly 190,000 registered candidates running for local government positions in the central European nation of 38 million people. Opinion polls released in the days ahead of the vote showed the two largest political formations running neck-and-neck: Mr Tusk’s Civic Coalition, an electoral coalition led by his centrist and pro-European Union Civic Platform party, and Law and Justice, a national conservative party that governed the country from 2015 until last year.
The result, amid record turnout, spelled the end of eight bumpy years of rule by Law and Justice, which was accused by the European Union of violating democratic standards with its changes to the judicial system and public media. The vote is also a test for Law and Justice, which had a string of electoral victories and dominated the political scene for years, enjoying strong support in conservative rural areas. However, its hardline policies on LGBTQ+ and its restriction of abortion rights were rejected by many of the young and female voters who turned out in the autumn to vote.
