The present study shows the process of shaping the concept of local leadership in Poland, which concerns mayors of rural communes, mayors and presidents of cities, directly elected by citizens − and their role as local government executive leaders. Particular attention is paid to legal and political mechanisms of their election and political (democratic) responsibility towards the citizens. In these mechanisms, there have been detected factors which substantially weaken social trustworthiness of the role of the leader and its democratic advantages. These factors especially include a low rate of vote turnout (both in local election and in referenda for dismissal from any of the offices listed above) and various informational manipulations aimed at distorting the true picture of public opinion in these matters. The author has pointed to dysfunction of regulations and political phenomena, which cause that the concept of a local leader in Poland has met very serious difficulties in practice and is not trusted by the community.

Ostateczny wynik wyborczy zależy od wielu czynników. Jednym z nich pozostaje regionalne zróżnicowanie preferencji politycznych. Celem artykułu jest zbadanie, czy rzeczona regionalizacja preferencji zauważalna w wyborach parlamentarnych stanowi także jeden z czynników wpływających na ostateczny rezultat wyborów na prezydentów miast. Analiza została przeprowadzona na przykładzie kandydatów Prawa i Sprawiedliwości (PiS) oraz Platformy Obywatelskiej (PO), uczestniczących w wyborach w 2014 roku. Zbadano średnie poparcie kandydatów partii w poszczególnych regionach, medianę tegoż poparcia oraz skuteczność wyborczą mierzoną jako liczba zwycięstw wyborczych.
