Voivodeship sejmik
Voivodeship sejmiks () are
legislatures comprised of
elected legislators in the
Voivodeships (provinces) of
Poland. They are comprised of directly
elected representatives, who are elected for four year terms effective from the day of the last election. Individual members are referred to as
sejmiks, and the legislature as a whole is sometimes also referred to as a sejmik.
The members of the Sejmik elect from among their members a
Chairperson and deputy chairperson who may not form part of the Government of the Voivodeship. The chair is responsible for organising the Sejmik's business and presiding over debates but may not represent the voivodeship outside of its boundaries.
