Considerations Regarding the Structure of the Term of Office of National Electoral Commission Members Appointed by the Sejm
The aim of the article is an answer to the question about interpretation of Art. 157 § 2c of the Electoral Code and Art. 158 § 1a and answer to the question whether the composition of the NEC should change at the end of the term of office of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland, or after 150 days from the date of elections to the Sejm. This problem became apparent at the turn of 2023 and 2024, when, after the parliamentary elections, the President withheld the appointment of a new NEC until 13 March 2024, even though the Sejm had already selected its candidates in December 2023. This problem is important, because the difference of several months in the new composition of the NEC may have significant consequences for the political system. The work uses the formal and legal method and analyzes the achievements of the doctrine.
