Polish legislative election, 1919
- Polish legislative election, 1919
The Polish legislative election, 1919 took place on 26 January and were the first election in the Second Polish Republic. The elections, based on universal suffrage and proportional representation, produced a parliament balanced between Right, Left and Center (the communists boycotted it). Among the first tasks of the Sejm was creation of the constitution, and the Small Constitution of 1919 was voted ten days after the first session, on 20 February 1919. In 1921 a larger but also more controversial constitution (supported by Right, but opposed by Left) was voted for, the March Constitution of Poland.
