Summary/Abstract: The article analyses the issues concerning changes in electoral law in national and international policies. Making amendments in this branch of law in accordance with the state principles largely depends on adequate interval time between passing the law and its binding. The author researches the judicial practice of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal and the standards achieved by the Council of Europe in relation to electoral law. By analysing two institutions – vacatio legis and legislative silence it is possible to indicate similarities and differences between them.
