The aim of the article is to find out whether communes with a considerable share of non-Polish residents (exceeding 30%) differ in terms of stability of local executive authorities appointed as a result of direct elections from communes where this category of people did not occur at all in the 2002 national census, and from those where the share of such people is lower than 30%. Generally, the findings suggest there are no differences in this respect.

Artykuł dotyczy problemu ograniczonej podaży kandydatów na wójtów, burmistrzów i prezydentów miast. Od 2002 r. większość komitetów wyborczych tworzonych w gminach brała udział jedynie w wyborach do rad gmin, nie wystawiając kandydatów do organu wykonawczego. W latach 2002–2010 rósł również odsetek gmin, w których do wyborów stawał jeden kandydat. Analiza regresji logistycznej pokazuje, że na decyzje komitetów wyborczych o wystawianiu kandydatów wpływa ich wielkość (popularność), a także wielkość gminy. Decyzji o niewystawianiu kandydatów sprzyja istnienie dominującego komitetu oraz start w wyborach urzędujących już burmistrzów. Znane zjawisko incumbency advantage działa zatem nie tylko podczas wyborów, ale również przed nimi (na etapie zgłaszania kandydatów).

The authors consider the problem of limited supply of candidates for mayors. Since 2002, most electoral committees in Polish municipalities have only participated in the elections for municipal councils and not for the principal executive office. Between 2002 and 2010, there was also a growing share of municipalities in which only one candidate ran. The logistic regression analysis demonstrates that the electoral committees’ decision whether or not to nominate a candidate is influenced by their size (popularity), as well as the size of the municipality. If there is a dominating committee and competing incumbents, it is less probable that another candidate would run. It is evident that the well-known effect of incumbency advantage works not only during the elections but also before them (when candidates are registered).
