The article presents an analysis of the electoral system applied in the elections to the Sejm of the Polish People’s Republic in June 1989 from the perspective of the use of electoral engineering tools. These are changes made to the electoral system that affect the electoral process, aiming to change the probability of a particular election result in line with the interests of the decision-maker, and not directly affecting the electoral decisions of voters in relation to the electoral offer presented. The focus was on answering two research questions: whether electoral engineering tools were applied in the case of the elections to the Sejm of the Polish People’s Republic of the 10th term, and if so, whether the tools applied produced an effect consistent with the intentions of the deci-sion-making centre. The analysis was conducted in relation to the electoral system Strict sense: the norms determining the shape of the broadest possible electoral offer, the structure of constituencies, the electoral formula, and the voter’s rights during the act of voting.

The aim of the article is to examine the extent to which the electorates of the current parliamentary parties (represented in the Sejm of the Republic of Poland) are changing in terms of their place in the electoral space. The paper focuses on the issue of electoral volatility of Polish political parties – the variability of the behaviour of their electorates in territorial terms (constituencies). The presented study allows to confirm the thesis of low electoral volatility (high stability) of the main parliamentary parties in the period 2001–2019, with groupings with high support characterised by a lower level of electoral volatility. In addition, the article presents an analysis of the electorates of groups of political parties over the same period, which allows to confirm the flows of electorates related to the dynamics of the party system.
