Editing Sejm (section)

===Third Polish Republic===
After the [[Revolutions of 1989|end of communism]] in 1989, the Senate was reinstated as the second house of a bicameral [[National Assembly of Poland|national assembly]], while the ''Sejm'' remained the first house. The ''Sejm'' is now composed of 460 deputies elected by [[proportional representation]] every four years.

Between 7 and 20 deputies are elected from each constituency using the [[d'Hondt method]] (with one exception, in 2001, when the [[Sainte-Laguë method]] was used), their number being proportional to their constituency's population. Additionally, a threshold is used, so that candidates are chosen only from parties that gained at least 5% of the nationwide vote (candidates from ethnic-minority parties are exempt from this threshold).<ref name=autogenerated1 />
