Kuyavian-Pomeranian (Polish : kujawsko-pomorskie) is a constituency of the European Parliament. It covers the area of the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Voivodeship.

Nomenclature

The relevant Polish legislation ("The Act of 23 January 2004 on Elections to the European Parliament" ^[1] ) establishing the constituencies does not give the constituencies formal names. Instead, each constituency has a number, territorial description, and location of the Constituency Electoral Commission. The 2004 Polish National Election Commission ^[2] and the 2004 European Parliament Election website ^[3] uses the territorial description when referring to the constituency, not the electoral commission location.
