Aim. The article attempts to study legal fundamentals of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine. Equal rights for women and men in all spheres of social and political life is the important condition and guarantee for strengthening democracy in Ukraine. Methods. The research was conducted by applying general scientific methods of learning (analysis, synthesis, modelling) and private-scientific methods of learning (historical, retrospective, comparative and legal, formally logical). The general methodological basis of the article is made by dialectics, ensuring comprehensive studying the problems of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine. Results. Having analysed particularities of realising women’s political rights in Ukraine, it is worth noting that since 2010 gender quotas have not been set in the Ukraine’s election legislation until 2015. However, 2015 was the year of the first introduction of gender quotas, but they were not of imperative character. According to the new Election Code of Ukraine of 19 December 2019, gender quotas have become a mandatory regulation at the nomination stage. Conclusions. It is reasonable to make transformation of the stereotypes of the women’s role in politics and to draw more attention to mass media, contributing to extension of women’s political rights and destruction of the bias about women’s position in politics. Gender quotas in the election legislation of Ukraine are of great significance for all members of society in the political sphere, whilst it needs improvement of the administrative and legal mechanisms to ensure gender quotas.

The article concerns the support for the gender quota system in the elections in Poland. The research was conducted on a double sample of adults for a representative national research, by means of quota sampling method (n = 2119). The respondents who believed that there is insufficient representation of women in parliament outnumbered those with the opposite opinion. We have observed a reluctance among the respondents to introduce solutions aimed at strengthening women’s representation. The difference in views were determined by political preferences, gender, age, domicile, and education. Women and leftist supporters more frequently believed that there are too few women in parliament and supported quotas, as opposed to men and persons with right-wing views. The differences were observed in the youngest age category, where women more often opted for quotas than men.

W artykule została przeprowadzona analiza parytetów i kwot płci w świetle zasady wolnych wyborów. W tym celu autor odwołuje się głównie do doktryny prawa konstytucyjnego. Konkluzją analizy jest, że obligatoryjne parytety i kwoty płci są sprzeczne z zasadą wolnych wyborów. W związku z tym autor zaleca usunięcie obowiązkowych kwot wyborczych z polskiego prawa wyborczego. Można też przedstawić inne, mniej radykalne rozwiązanie, w postaci złagodzenia sankcji za ich naruszenie. Dobrowolne, wewnątrzpartyjne parytety i kwoty płci nie naruszają natomiast zasady wolnych wyborów, z uwagi na brak narzuconego na drodze prawnej obowiązku ich stosowania.

In this artice are analysed the gender parities and quotas in relation to the principle of free elections. For this purpose, the author refers mainly to the doctrine of constitutional law. The analysis leads to conclusion that the compulsory gender parities and quotas are at variance with the principle of free elections. In this light, author recommends to remove the compulsory electoral quotas from the Polish electoral law. It is also possible to present the other, less radical solution, in the form of tempering the sanction for their infringement. The voluntary gender parities and quotas, by contrast, do not violate this principle, due to the lack of duty imposed by legal means to apply them.
