The problem of the lack of “generational replacement” in Poland is particularly evident on the local self-government level. For years, there has been an ongoing public debate on the adoption of legal solutions introducing term-limits for the office of commune head, mayor and president of the city. Politicians of Law and Justice returned to their idea from 2005 and, shortly before the local elections of 2018, decided to prepare new regulations in this respect. They argued that the adopted solutions create real prospects for implementing projects by young politicians and activists. However, the issue was hotly debated and the initiators’ motives were put into question. There is no doubt that a two-term limit in local selfgovernment units has always stirred up emotions. A lot of self-government officials perceive it as a regulation which violates the provisions of the Constitution of the RP. The aim of this paper is to present the public debate on the adopted solutions and discuss their assumptions.

The aim of this paper was to present the issue of limiting the number of terms of office of village heads, mayors, and city presidents in Poland. The analysis was based on empirical data from surveys in which respondents were asked whether they were in favour of limiting the possibility of holding the office of mayor and city president to two terms. The variables taken into account were: the participation of respondents in local elections in 2018, declared participation in parliamentary elections, declared views, declared religiosity, and age of respondents. The survey was conducted between December 2018 and February 2019 as part of a nationwide research project entitled “Political Preferences: Attitudes – Identifications – Behaviors”, carried out since 2009.
