Summary/Abstract: In 2002, the Venice Commission issued special recommendations on elections, entitled as the "Code of Good Practice in Electoral Matters". The Code contains many significant provisions that are particularly important from the perspective of young democracy, as they may indicate the direction of development of the electoral system. This essay is a synthetic analysis of Poland’s compliance with the recommendations issued by the Venice Commission. It focuses primarily on comparing Polish and Venetian standards, but also points to the latest changes in the Polish Electoral Code.
