==Election results==

===Support===
The Party's traditional support base consisted of farmers, peasants and rural voters. Voters are generally more [[social conservative]] than voters of [[Civic Platform]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.radio.kielce.pl/pl/wiadomosci/na-kogo-zaglosuja-wyborcy-psl-czeslaw-siekierski-odpowiada,109402|title= Na kogo zagłosują wyborcy PSL? Czesław Siekierski odpowiada|website=radio.kielce.pl|date= 2 July 2020|language=pl}}</ref> Its main competitor in rural areas is the [[National conservatism|national conservative]] [[Law and Justice]] (''PiS'').<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.polityka.pl/tygodnikpolityka/kraj/1683896,1,psl-wybiera-wladze-i-walczy-o-zycie-pis-nie-ukrywa-ze-chce-pozbyc-sie-konkurenta-ze-wsi.read|title=PSL wybiera władze i walczy o życie.

In the 2010s, the party started to lose support between rural voters (especially in southeast of Poland, e.g. [[Subcarpathian Voivodeship]]). In [[2019 Polish parliamentary election|2019 election]] PSL gained surprisingly significant support in cities and won mandates (e. g. in [[Warsaw]] and [[Wrocław]]).<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://notesfrompoland.com/2020/02/07/what-are-the-prospects-for-the-polish-peasant-party/|title = What are the prospects for the Polish Peasant Party?|date = 7 February 2020}}</ref>
