There have been several referendums in the history of Poland.

1920 and 1921

There were no country-wide referendums in the Second Polish Republic, but there were two local referendums on border issues between Poland and Germany:

  • 11 July 1920 – Referendum on Warmia, Mazury and Powiśle
  • 20 March 1921 – Referendum on Upper Silesia
  • 1946 and 1987

    There were two referendums in the People's Republic of Poland:

  • 30 June 1946 – People's referendum (also known as the 3xTAK, 3 times YES referendum)
  • 29 November 1987 – Referendum on political and economic reforms
  • Since 1989

    There have been four referendums in post-Communist Poland:
