Result of the voivodeship sejmik elections

Local elections were held in Poland on 16 November 2014 to elect members for all 16 regional assemblies (sejmik wojewódzki), 314 county (powiat) councils, and 2,479 municipal (gmina) councils. The second round was held on 30 November 2014 to elect heads of municipalities, mayors and city presidents in places where no candidate obtained more than 50% of the vote.

The local elections were seen as a test to the ruling Civic Platform and Polish People's Party centre-right conservative liberal coalition government under Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, after then Prime Minister Donald Tusk became the President of the European Council.
