Summary/Abstract: The last local elections in Poland took place on 16th November 2014. The 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. The Polish electoral administration needs several reforms. First is a necessary reorganisation of the National Election Office. Second is the evaluation of all procedures, laws and processes concerning organization of elections in Poland. Third, the electronic voting protocol should be given priority.
