Summary/Abstract: The level of preparation of particular candidates and electoral committees in the 2014 local government elections in Małopolska was vastly varied. Some of the candidates postponed publishing their political program until the last moment, disregarding the need for information among the electorate. The following article aims at analyzing the opinions and political platforms of the candidates for the post of the Mayor of Kraków as well as their electoral committees with regard to selected political issues and the distribution channels of electoral information, on the basis of data collected by the ELECTORAL BAROMETER 2014 research project.
