The Polish legislation, including at the level of the Constitution, provides for local referendums, and considers recall as a form of their exercise. Between 2010 and 2014, local recall elections took place in 111 municipalities (about 4,5% of the number of mayors having being under the threat of removal), out of which 16 resulted in the mayor’s dismissal. In 2013, an attempt to recall the mayor of Warsaw failed for lack of sufficient participation in the vote (25% of registered voters instead of 29% required), largely due to the call for boycott of the party in place.
