Wybory uzupełniające do Senatu na Podkarpaciu w 2013 roku
(Wydawnictwo Uniwersytetu Rzeszowskiego, 2014) Szczepański, Dominik
The aim of this article is to present the election campaign in the by-election to the Senate in the Subcarpathian voivodeship called by the President of the Republic of Poland Bronisław Komorowski for 8th September, 2013. The main reason for calling the by-election was the fact that the mandate of Władysław Ortyl, elected as the Marshal of the Subcarpathian voivodeship, terminated. Ultimately, seven candidates supported by their own parties or electoral committees endeavoured to win the support of the local electorate and entered the campaign. A visit paid by top representatives of Law and Justice, Civic Platform, Polish People’s Party and United Poland to the region of the Subcarpathian voivodeship was an essential element of the election campaign. The representatives finally did battle for Subcarpathia. The by-election to the Senate in Subcarpathia in 2013 showed that in electoral competition the political parties performed a decisive role, not their candidates, as evidenced by the election result achieved by the Law and Justice candidate in relation to his political opponents.
