Result of the voivodeship sejmik elections

The 2018 Polish local elections were held on October 21 for all 16 regional assemblies (sejmik wojewódzki), 380 county (powiat) councils, and 2477 municipal (gmina) councils. There were also direct elections for heads (wójt) of municipalities and mayors, with a second, run-off round for these offices on November 4.

The local elections were a victory of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS), though the opposition Civic Coalition (PO) maintained control of the majority of cities, including the capital Warsaw.
