  The Śląskie Voivodeship
The Śląskie Voivodeship is situated in the southern part of Poland – a country located in the centre of Europe that since 2004 has been a member of the European Union.
The major elements of the settlement system in the Śląskie Voivodeship are the municipal agglomerations: the Upper-Silesian – of the European significance and: Bielsko, Czêstochowa and Rybnik – of the national significance.
The Voivodeship is of polycentric nature – there is no one core centre that would fulfil the metropolitan functions (administration, finances, insurance, schools of higher education, culture).

 The Gate of Podlasie - default
The self-government of the voivodeship is neither superior to nor supervisory for the self-government of poviats or the self-government of gminas and so it does not intervene in attributions of poviat or gmina.
The election is conducted by the terms of electoral law of the Gmina Council, Poviat Council and Sejmik of the voivodeship.
The Sejmik is the legislative and supervisory organ of a voivodeship.
