There were no country-wide referendums, as this was neither mentioned in the March Constitution nor as a procedure.[1] But there were two local referendums on border issues between Poland and Weimar Republic:
15 October 2023 – A referendum alongside nationwide elections to the Senate and Sejm.[7] Four questions have been announced by members of the government from 11–14 August. Voters were asked whether they approve of privatisation of state-owned enterprises, increase in the retirement age, admission of immigrants under the EU relocation mechanism and removal of the barrier on Poland’s border with Belarus.[8][9][10] The referendum was answered by around 40% of eligible Polish voters, making it not binding.[11]
↑Although the referendum was binding, both the results and the voter turnout were falsified.
↑The law required over half of eligible voters to respond "yes" for the referendum to be valid. This condition wasn't met—only 44.28% and 46.29% of registered voters responded "yes" to the two questions. Therefore, the result wasn't binding
↑Voter turnout was below the 50% threshold required by the 1995 Referendum Act. However, on 15 July, the Supreme Court ruled that the 1992 'small' constitution, which lacked turnout requirements, took precedence over the Act, thereby allowing the results to be binding.
