Summary/Abstract: The National Electoral Commission carries out a number of tasks related to the organization of elections and referenda. Regulations introduced in 2018 have fundamentally changed the position of this authority in the Polish legal system. Prior to this change it was an organ enjoying independence and impartiality. Under the new law, it has lost these attributes. The article describes the threats to the Polish legal system related to the politicization of the National Electoral Commission.
