Summary/Abstract: Age markers in the study of political preferences in Poland are a source of very interesting dependencies. The age of the voter can largely determine his attitude during the vote. The article aims to show these relationships through a critical analysis of the literature, in relation to the data obtained in exit polls of subsequent parliamentary elections, in comparison with the research carried out by the author after the elections to the Sejm in 2019. Various theoretical approaches, known in the literature on the subject, are presented about the reasons for the change of political views or the lack thereof with the age of the voter. The analysis conducted in this way is to answer the question: what electoral preferences of specific age groups of voters will dominate in Poland in the near future?
