German Minority in the Polish region of Upper Silesia (Opole Voivodeship and Silesian Voivodeship).Votes for the German Minority in the 2007 elections, Opole Voivodeship.
The German Minority Electoral Committee (Polish: Komitet Wyborczy Mniejszość Niemiecka, German: Wahlkomitee Deutsche Minderheit) is an electoral committee in Poland which represents the German minority. Since 2008, its representative has been Ryszard Galla. In the 2023 Polish parliamentary election, Galla lost his seat in the Sejm, leaving the party with no national representation.[6]
It is not a registered political party, but an organization by which Poland's political system gives political representation to national minorities. Candidates of the German minority are proposed by the Social-Cultural Association of Germans in Opolitian Silesia (Polish: Towarzystwo Społeczno-Kulturalne Niemców na Śląsku Opolskim, German: Wahlkomitee Sozial-Kulturelle Gesellschaft der Deutschen im Oppelner Schlesien) and the Social-Cultural Association of Germans in Silesian Voivodeship (Towarzystwo Społeczno-Kulturalne Niemców Województwa Śląskiego).[7]
