• Description:
  The study aims to characterize the local activity of residents in the context of selected aspects of voting behavior in the elections to district councils in Poznań in May 2024. The focus was primarily on two issues: (a) active participation of Poznań residents in the elections to district councils and its determinants, and (b) differences in the characteristics of candidates for district councils in the spatial context. In Poland, dividing communes into auxiliary territorial units was already possible under the Act on Local Government of March 8, 1990. In Poznań, such division into sub-local units has been in force since 1996. Since 2011, some of the initially functioning sub-local units have been merged into larger ones, creating 42 auxiliary units in the city. The elections were not held in two district councils, Naramowice and Żegrze, and in one part of the Nowe Winogrady Południe district council, where fewer candidates were registered than seats on the council. The primary source of information on the elections was the protocols of the election results to the individual 40 district councils prepared by the Electoral Commissioner appointed by the Poznań City Council. In addition, information on the composition of district councils in the 2019-2024 term was placed on these councils’ official websites. The analysis of the connections between political careers was based on information contained in the lists of election committees to the Poznań City Council participating in the elections on 7 April 2024 (State Electoral Commission data). The indicator method was used to examine the spatial differentiation of the election results to district councils (a total of six indicators: voter turnout, candidate load, continued candidacy, the re-election of councilors, feminization of candidates, and feminization of councilors). The research results indicate significant formal passivity manifested in sub-local electoral activity – as evidenced by the candidate load indicator. Participation in these elections, the role of women and representatives of parties and para-political organizations in them, indicates the intensifying process of disintegration of traditional ties in district communities.;
  Celem opracowania jest charakterystyka aktywności lokalnej mieszkańców pod kątem wybranych aspektów zachowań wyborczych w wyborach do rad osiedli w Poznaniu w maju 2024 r., tj. uczestnictwa czynnego mieszkańców Poznania w wyborach do rad osiedli i jego uwarunkowań oraz odmienności cech kandydatów do rad osiedli w kontekście przestrzennym. Podstawowym źródłem informacji o wyborach do rad osiedli były protokoły wyników wyborów. Badanie prowadzono metodą wskaźnikową. Wyniki wskazują na znaczącą pasywność formalną przejawiającą się w sferze elektoralnej aktywności sublokalnej – o czym może świadczyć wskaźnik obciążenia miejsc kandydatami. Uczestnictwo w tych wyborach, rola w nich kobiet oraz przedstawicieli partii i organizacji parapolitycznych wskazuje na wzmaganie się procesu zaniku tradycyjnych więzi w społecznościach osiedlowych.
