The empirical research conducted by the author proves that prevalent portion of electorate expects the introduction of recall and people’s veto to Polish law. The results of analysis confirm the high level of citizens’ support for institutions of direct democracy. This support is articulated by all groups of Polish electorate, regardless of party affiliation and ideological viewpoints.
