A few days before parliamentary elections in 2011 Institute of Public Affairs and Public Opinion Research Center made a research about knowledge and opinions of Poles about electoral system. It covered following topics: gender quotas on electoral lists, single-member districts, postal voting, proxy-voting and sources of information about candidates and election used by potential voters. The research showed that the awareness of new voting mechanisms and instruments is very low among society. The reason for that could be limited time to inform people about changes in electoral law, due to introduction of new rules few months before the elections.
