The Union of Poles of Romania (Romanian: Uniunea Polonezilor din Romania, UPR; Polish: Związek Polaków w Rumunii "Dom Polski"), or Dom Polski, is an ethnic minority political party in Romania representing the Polish community.
History
The UPR was registered on 16 March 1990, and contested the May 1990 general elections. Despite receiving only 2,372 votes (0.02%), it won a single seat in the Chamber of Deputies under the electoral law that allows for political parties representing ethnic minority groups to be exempt from the electoral threshold. It has won a seat in every election since.
