Podlaskie and Warmian-Masurian ( Polish: podlaskie i warmińsko-mazurskie) is a constituency of the European Parliament. It consists of the Podlaskie Voivodeship and Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship.

The chief cities are Elbląg, Olsztyn and Białystok. With just two seats representing 2,651,000 people, Podlaskie and Warmian-Masurian was the most under-represented constituency in the entire European Union until 2019 when it gained a third seat. [1]

Nomenclature

The relevant Polish legislation ("The Act of 23 January 2004 on Elections to the European Parliament" [2]) establishing the constituencies does not give the constituencies formal names. Instead, each constituency has a number, territorial description, and location of the Constituency Electoral Commission. The 2004 Polish National Election Commission [3] and the 2004 European Parliament Election website [4] uses the territorial description when referring to the constituency, not the electoral commission location.
