It produced a parliament balanced between the right, left and centre, although the elections were boycotted by the Polish communists and the Jewish Bund.

As a result, the government of Poland led by Jozef Pilsudski had problems creating the electoral districts.

The list of these districts presents a declaration of Polish territorial claims rather than real situation of late 1918.

It covers the whole territory of the Kingdom of Poland (1916–1918), formerly Russian Belostok Oblast, as well as whole former Austrian province of Galicia, even though its eastern part was area of a conflict between Poles and Ukrainians (see Polish–Ukrainian War).

Also, the Nowy Targ district covered several communes of Orawa, and Spisz, with such towns, as Kežmarok, Stará Ľubovňa, and Spišská Nová Ves (these locations had been part of Poland until the late 18th century).
