Votes

Open PUBLIC → Votes in the sidebar when the module is enabled for the organization. The tabs at the top separate four public records:

• Sejm — Sejm votes and, where published, the vote of each member;
• Senate — Senate votes and, where published, the vote of each senator;
• President — presidential decisions on acts; these are decisions, not chamber votes;
• CT — Constitutional Tribunal cases and rulings; these are cases, not votes.

The number on the President tab counts acts awaiting a decision that are still within their decision period.

Each institution publishes different data and follows a different procedure, so compare figures within one tab rather than across tabs. All four lists load further entries while scrolling; on narrow screens they fold into fewer columns. Select a row to open the record; see Record details.

Sejm

The table shows Result, Motion, Topic, Vote, Margin, Date, and No. (sitting and vote number). Vote shows the votes for and against with a bar that also includes abstentions; members who did not vote are not counted there.

The result reads Passed, Rejected, Quorum present, or Quorum missing. A vote on candidates shows List vote and its leading option; a presence check shows the number of members present. Where the majority required is recorded, it determines the result.

The sidebar offers:

• Search current page — filters the votes already loaded by title, topic, description, or number;
• Show procedural votes — agenda changes, recesses, quorum checks, and similar procedural votes are hidden by default. The switch is the same setting as Procedural votes in Ledger in Settings → Preferences.

Senate

The Senate table uses the same columns as the Sejm table. The result reads Adopted or Rejected, as published by the Senate. Search current page filters the votes already loaded.

Senate records come from the Senate's own publications and are not derived from the Sejm record. A field or a list of senators that the source has not published remains unavailable.

President

The President tab has two tables.

Awaiting decision lists acts sent to the President without a recorded decision. Each row shows the Deadline for the decision (hover over it for the length of the period), the act, the Sejm vote for and against, and the Print numbers, including prints considered jointly. Select the act to open its legislative journey. Overdue marks an act whose period has passed with no decision recorded yet; such acts are not counted on the tab badge. The table is hidden when no act is waiting.

Recorded decisions groups decisions by day. The header summarizes the current year: acts signed, vetoed, and referred to the Tribunal. Each row shows:

• Decision — Signed, Vetoed, To TK before signing, or To TK after signing;
• the act — select it to open the decision;
• Follow-up — for a veto, the Sejm's vote on it (Veto upheld, Veto overridden — act passed again, or No Sejm vote recorded); for a referral, the Tribunal case signature and its status, linking to the case;
• Print — the print numbers, linking to the act's legislative journey when the decision is linked to a bill.

When two or more acts were signed on the same day, they appear as one row of chips; +N more shows the remaining chips and Show fewer folds them again.

The sidebar offers Search current page (act, bill, or print number; it also filters the acts awaiting a decision), Short titles, and Outcome, which narrows the recorded decisions to one outcome. The President acts alone, so the tab shows no vote distribution or chamber map.

CT

The sidebar offers:

• Search all cases — searches every stored case by signature, subject, applicant, or challenged provision, not only the loaded rows;
• Short titles;
• Status — All cases, Awaiting a ruling, or Rulings;
• Case type — the signature family, with the number of cases.

With All cases, the first cases Awaiting a ruling appear above the Rulings; Show all, followed by the number of pending cases, switches the list to Awaiting a ruling. The Rulings header summarizes the current year: the number of rulings, rulings by majority, and rulings with separate opinions.

Pending cases show how many days they have been waiting, the hearing date when one is set, and the filing date. A pending preventive review carries Act on hold: the act is suspended until the Tribunal rules. Rulings show the outcome (Constitutional, Unconstitutional, Partly unconstitutional, Proceedings discontinued, or Ruling recorded), the bench when the ruling text names it, and the ruling date. In the bench, orange squares mark judges who filed a separate opinion. Case closed and Status unknown describe cases that ended without a recorded ruling or whose ending the source does not record.

Data and empty states

Persate presents the fields published by each public source. Missing values are shown as unavailable; they are not estimated.

• No votings match your search, No decisions match your search, or No cases match your search — clear the search; on the President and CT tabs also check Outcome, Status, and Case type.
• Couldn't load votings, Couldn't load decisions, or Couldn't load cases — select Try again. A message about missing permissions means the account has no access to that record.
• A row that does not open, or a detail page that is unavailable — see Record details.
