The article touches upon the elections to the European Parliament (EP) from January 7, 2009 on the country scale and within the West Pomeranian and the Lubusz Voivodeship, which constituted the 13th electoral district. In the fi rst part the author presents the most important differences between the electoral law between the elections to the European Parliament and to the Parliament of the Republic of Poland. What is more, the author reminds the results of the elections to the European Parliament of June 13, 2004 which were the fi rst ones for Poland to take part. In the further part, on the basis of e.g. the documents of the National Electoral Commission the amount of the committees and their candidates, the turnout and the results of the elections with regards to the elections of 2004 were analyzed. The third part of the article touches upon the electoral campaign of particular parties on a country scale, and in the last part – within the 13th electoral district. While analyzing the campaigns what was paid attention to was the way of their conducting – if it was positiv or negative, whether all the committees conducted it essentially or they referred to the voters’ emotions or populist slogans. During this analysis on a country scale, the opinion of the political commentators whose articles are published in three best-read weeklies in country: “Polityka” (Policy), “Newsweek Polska” (Newsweek Poland) and “Wprost” (Straightforward) was presented. When it comes to the characteristics of the electoral campaign in the West Pomeranian – Lubusz area, except the usage of the documents of particular political parties, articled from the local press were also used.

In 2005, we had to deal with the specific electoral situation, because in the fall two election campaigns to the parliament overlapped with each other (25 September), and also there were elections for the President of Poland (9 October and 23 October). A similar situation was going to repeat in the fall of 2010, because at that time elections were to be held on both the President and the local government. However, due to the plane crash near Smolensk on 10th April 2010, in which the President of Poland died, head of state elections were to be held at an accelerated time – 20 June and 4 July. At the same time the enormity of the tragedy at Smolensk strongly dominated national politics and in varying degrees the accident subject was present during the campaign,both presidential and local government. Local government elections took place on 21st November 2010 under the amended provisions of electoral law. The most important amendments to the rules of the electoral law should be mentioned the abolition of the possibility of blocking electoral lists, which was introduced before the local elections in 2006. The article discusses local government elections in the region (Western Pomerania) in 2010 in regard to the previous elections of 2002 and 2006. The Analysis covered the Electoral elections in the five largest cities in Western Pomerania in which the president is elected: Szczecin, Koszalin, Swinoujscie, Stargard Szczecinski, and in Kolobrzeg. Further, the article discusses the results of the elections to the individual district councils, whereas at the end of the article there is a description of the election to the Westpomeranian Regional Assembly. In assessing the results of the election may be noted that in Western Pomerania voting preferences of its residents did not change, as there still Civic Platform enjoys the greatest support, with the exception of Swinoujscie, where invariably wins the Democratic Left Alliance. However, some changes have taken place in Szczecin, in which the mentioned Civic Platform lost its position on president of the city and the majority in the City Council of Szczecin.

Der Beitrag behandelt in erster Linie die Selbstverwaltungswahlen in der Woiwodschaft Westpommern nach der Einführung der Verwaltungsreform durch die Regierung Jerzy Buzeks am 1. Januar 1999. Analysiert wurden die größten Städte der Woiwodschaft hinsichtlich der Wahlen zum Stadtpräsidenten sowie zum Stadtrat. Beschrieben wurden auch die Wahlen zum Landtag (Sejmik) der Woiwodschaft Westpommern. Außer Wahlbeteiligung wurden die Wahlpräferenzen der Einwohner der behandelten Woiwodschaft einer Analyse unterzogen. Die Beobachtungen der politischen Bühne hinsichtlich der Selbstverwaltungswahlen führen den Verfasser zur Feststellung, dass nach der anfänglichen beherrschenden Rolle der linken Gruppierungen in dieser Region (ausgenommen die Wahlen im Jahr 1990), seit 2006 eine Änderung der Wahlpräferenzen der Einwohner erfolgte. Der Gewinner der letzten Selbstverwaltungswahlen wurde die Bürgerplattform RP (Platforma Obywatelska RP), wobei die linke Partei erst den dritten Platz, gleich hinter der Partei „Recht und Gerechtigkeit“ (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość), belegte.

The aim of the article is to analyze the formation of electoral preferences during the accession referendum to the European Union and in individual electorates to the European Parliament in constituency no. 13 - which includes the West Pomeranian and Lubusz Voivodeships - compared to all-Poland results. Both in the 1990s and at the beginning of the 21st century, the inhabitants of both regions demonstrated leftist electoral preferences. The change in electoral behavior took place during the first EP elections, and then proceeded in subsequent elections not only to the European Parliament, but also to the national parliament, as well elections of the President of the Republic of Poland and local authorities. Thanks to a comparative analysis of individual elections, it will be possible to verify the hypothesis that in the analyzed voivodeships included in constituency no.13 there was a change from leftist electoral preferences towards the center of the political scene.

Przedmiotem artykułu są postawy mieszkańców Szczecina wobec akcesji Polski do Unii Europejskiej. Autorzy zauważają, że większośc mieszkańcow miasta biorących udział w głosowaniu opowiedziała się za integracją ze strukturami UE. Chęć uczestnictwa w jednoczącej się rodzinie krajów Europy legitymizowała wysoka jak na polskie warunki frekwencja. Stąd zaskoczenie, że zaledwie rok później Polacy tak obojętnie i z tak małym zainteresowaniem podeszli do wyborów do PE. Autorzy dostrzegają, że akcesja Polski do UE miała wpływ na jakośc życia mieszkańców Szczecina i jej skutki, chociaż często niezauważalne na pierwszy rzut oka, stopniowo i w dużym zakresie zmieniają standard życia zarówno ogółu szczecinian, jak i pojedynczych obywateli.
