Nomenclature

The relevant Polish legislation ("The Act of 23 January 2004 on Elections to the European Parliament" [ [http://www.pkw.gov.pl/pkw2/index.jsp?place=Lead07&news_cat_id=12&news_id=2355&layout=1&page=text The Act of 23rd January 2004 on Elections to the European Parliament] ] ) establishing the constituencies does not give the constituencies formal names. Instead, each constituency has a number, territorial description, and location of the Constituency Electoral Commission. The 2004 Polish National Election Commission [ [http://www.pe2004.pkw.gov.pl/komunikaty/komunikatyPKW/obwieszczenie_internet.pdf Polish National Election Commission 2004] ] and the 2004 European Parliament Election website [ [http://www.europarl.europa.eu/elections2004/ep-election/sites/en/yourvoice/pl/law.html European Parliament Election website 2004] ] uses the territorial description when referring to the constituency, not the electoral commission location.
