Abstract

Th e last local elections in Poland took place on 16th November 2014. Th e election ended in crisis due to collapse of the electronic system supporting the election. In this article the author claims that the crisis did not happen because of bad electoral law but rather as a result of bad management of the electoral process. Th e Polish electoral administration needs several reforms. First is a necessary reorganization of the National ElectoralOffi ce. Second is the evaluation of all procedures, laws and processes concerning organization of elections in Poland. Th ird, the electronic voting protocol should be given priority.
