Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: European Parliament elections are typically perceived as less significant (second-order) than parliamentary or presidential elections (first-order). The 2019 European Parliament elections in Poland saw the highest voter turnout of any election to date. In this context, it seems important to test the concept of Second-Order Election in relation to electios in Poland. This article aims to analyze the European Parliament elections in the context of the Second-Order Election concept's assumptions. The analysis included political party documents, party leaders' speeches, statistical data, press articles, and academic studies. The research found that some of the Second-Order Election concept's assumptions were confirmed, while others were disproved.
