Election sejm
Encyclopedia : E : EL : ELE : Election sejm
Election sejm (Polish: sejm elekcyjny) was one of three kinds of special sejm in pre-partition Poland. Upon vacancy of the throne, the election sejm, meeting at Wola outside Warsaw, elected a new king.
The other two kinds of special sejm--likewise concerned with the filling of the throne--were the "convocation sejm" and the "coronation sejm."
