The Sejm Presidium approves a proportional seat split for the Envelope Elections Investigation Committee
The Presidium of the Sejm has unanimously endorsed a plan to distribute seats on the investigative committee examining the organization of envelope elections. The approach ensures proportional representation for participating clubs while guaranteeing that every parliamentary group gains a seat on the commission.
The proposed distribution is 4-3-1-1-1-1, a formula designed to balance influence among the groups in attendance while keeping the structure clear and functional. In practical terms, it means four seats for the largest group, three for the next, and one seat each for four smaller clubs, reflecting the current makeup of the Sejm and the need for broad cross-party participation in the inquiry.
Earlier, the Sejm approved a resolution to appoint an investigative committee to examine the legality of the 2020 presidential elections conducted via postal voting. All MPs present voted in favor of establishing the committee, signaling strong parliamentary consensus on the need for a thorough review.

The Presidium of the Sejm has just unanimously adopted the equal distribution of seats on the Commission of Inquiry on Envelope Elections. The aim is to preserve proportionality while ensuring all clubs have representation on the commission, resulting in the 4-3-1-1-1-1 arrangement.
Shortly after the decision, a post appeared on the X platform by Krzysztof Bosak, a representative from the Confederacy, confirming the plan’s details. The comment highlighted the emphasis on fairness and inclusivity in the committee’s composition.
The candidates for membership on the Investigative Committee will be submitted to the President of the Sejm by the leaders of clubs and groups that belong to the parliamentary Senior Citizens’ Convention. The committee is set to comprise 11 members. Under the applicable law governing Sejm investigative bodies, the panel’s composition must mirror the Sejm’s overall representation of the clubs and deputies who participate in the Senior Convention, with allocation tied to each group’s size in the chamber. This ensures a balanced and transparent process as the inquiry proceeds.
