The main aim of the article is to present the practice of network governance concept in Finnish local government and its impact on local democracy, including the role played by elected representatives. The main hypothesis of the study implies that the idea of network governing, not only forces municipal councils to redefine their roles, but also reduces the scope of their responsibilities and limits the level of accountability. The study is based on empirical research conducted in 22 municipalities located in Pirkanmaa Region, Southern Finland in Spring 2015. The results of the research indicate that although network governance easily fits into Finnish local government, the concept brings many challenges. One of the most important challenges is the necessity to strengthen the say of elected representatives, presently perceived with regard to governing process mainly as rubber-stamp councils.

The article is an attempt to assess the effects of the 2018 reform of local electoral law on a medium scale. The main goal is to investigate the consequences of these changes for the model of political rivalry. Through the use of a selection of quantitative methods, the authors verify hypotheses regarding the proportionality of local elections and the mechanical effect of the electoral system. The overall aim is to establish to what extent the new electoral system deforms the voting results when distributing seats among the electoral committees. Apart from the hypotheses, the authors also verify whether Łódź Voivodeship is a suitable case study and representative of national trends.

Norma demograficzna stanowi instytucję o istotnym znaczeniu z punktu widzenia ostatecznych wyników wyborów oraz szczegółowych zasad przeprowadzania postępowania wyborczego. Jako instrument rozdzielający systemy większościowy i proporcjonalny, oddziałuje na tryb zgłaszania kandydatów, strukturę okręgów wyborczych oraz metody dystrybucji mandatów. Celem opracowania uczyniono prezentację i ocenę projektów ustawodawczych, mających za przedmiot normę demograficzną w latach 1990–2018. Przeprowadzona analiza prowadzi do wniosku, że nie została wypracowana jednolita koncepcja normy demograficznej, a cykliczne zmiany w tym zakresie mają charakter koniunkturalny.
