Nomenclature
The relevant Polish legislation ("The Act of 23 January 2004 on Elections to the European Parliament")[ 1] 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[ 2] and the 2004 European Parliament Election website[ 3] uses the territorial description when referring to the constituency, not the electoral commission location.
