Session

The resolution of the Sejm always causes the simultaneous termination of the term of the Senate. Although the usual duration of the parliamentary term is identical for the two chambers with four years of counting the electoral periods is not uniform. The first term of the Senate lasted since its reintroduction in 1989 simultaneously with the 10th term of the Sejm. With the first fully free elections in 1991, I began to count the Sejm election periods by new one, while the second term began for the Senate. Consequently, a Sejm of the nth term is always equal one Senate of the ( n 1 ) th term.
