Social Perception of Elections in the Polish People’s Republic in the Light of Letters sent to the Authorities during a Consultation of the Draft of a New Electoral Law to the Sejm in 1985

Description:
Artykuł prezentuje przegląd opinii, które zawierają listy przesłane władzom PRL podczas tzw. konsultacji społecznych projektu nowej ordynacji wyborczej do Sejmu w 1985 r. Większość nadawców pisała krytycznie nie tylko o samym projekcie, ale także o systemie wyborczym PRL w ogóle. Zestawiając te opinie ze znanymi z innych publikacji listami z okresu budowy w Polsce systemu komunistycznego, autor stawia tezę, iż przez kolejne dziesięciolecia trwania rządów PPR/PZPR Polacy nawet jeśli brali udział w powszechnych głosowaniach, zdawali sobie sprawę z ich fasadowego charakteru. The article presents a survey of opinions expressed in the letters sent to the authorities of the Polish People’s Republic during the so-called social consultations of the draft of a new electoral law to the Sejm in 1985. A majority of people wrote critically not only about the project itself but also about the whole electoral system of the Polish People’s Republic. After a comparison of these opinions with other letters known from the period of building of a communist system in Poland, the author puts forward a thesis that in the successive decades of the rule of the Polish Workers’ Party/Polish United Workers’ Party, even if they had voted in universal elections, the Polish people were aware of their window-dressing nature.
