Poland (European Parliament constituency)

In European elections, the member state of Poland is subdivided into constituencies.

The elections resulted in a heavy defeat for the governing Alliance of the Democratic Left and Labor Union parties, although the very low turnout makes a direct comparison with national election results difficult.

The radical populist Self-Defense of the Polish Republic, which some opinion polls had predicted would come second, came fourth after the Law and Justice party.

The election results were a success for Social Democracy of Poland, which managed to cross the required 5% threshold, and the Freedom Union, which got over twice the expected percentage of votes.

The 2009 European Parliament election in Poland was on Sunday 7 June 2009 and the number of seats was 50.
