Voters across Poland are casting ballots in local elections in what is the first electoral test for the coalition government led by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, nearly four months after taking power. Voters will elect mayors as well as members of municipal councils and provincial assemblies.
Campaigners distribute flyers for the upcoming local elections in Kazun Polski, near Warsaw, Poland , on Thursday, April 4, 2024, three days ahead of a vote that Poland is holding on Sunday. The nationwide vote for city mayors, provincial governors, local council members and other local officials are expected to be a test of support for the ruling pro-European Union coalition of Prime Minister Donald Tusk that won parliamentary elections in October.
Runoff votes will take place two weeks later, on April 21, in cases where mayoral candidates do not win at least 50% of the vote in Sunday’s first round. Tusk’s coalition government, which includes the Third Way and the Left, together won the national election in October. The result amid record turnout spelled the end of eight bumpy years of rule by Law and Justice, which was accused by the European Union of violating democratic standards with its, but it isn’t easy. His attempts to restore independence to the judicial system are a long process that will require the passage of new legislation.
The vote is also a test for Law and Justice, which had a string of electoral victories and dominated the political scene for years, enjoying strong support in conservative rural areas. However, its hard-line policies on LGBTQ+ and its restriction of abortion rights were rejected by many of the young and female voters who turned out in the fall to vote.
