Add article description

Parliamentary elections were held in Poland on 8 September 1935, with Senate elections held a week later on 15 September.[1] They were held under the April Constitution, drawn up earlier in 1935 by the Sanation movement, which had changed the electoral system to one more in its favor. In protest, the opposition boycotted the elections and voter turnout was only 45.9%, the lowest in the history of the Second Republic.[2]
