Volt Poland (Polish: Volt Polska, abbreviated mononymously as Volt) is a pro-European, social liberal political movement in Poland, constituting the Polish subsidiary of Volt Europa,^[4] a federalist pan-European political party. Volt Europa has 5 elected members of parliament^[5][6] advocating for deeper European integration within a centrist to centre-left political framework, with a core focus on evidence-based policy.^[7] Volt is pragmatic in their policy making by comparing and sharing best-practices^[8] among EU countries and municipalities.^[9][10]

Volt Poland has been a registered association since 2023. The first board consisted of three elected members: two co-chairs (which Volt calls co-presidents) and one treasurer.^[11]

During its General Assembly on 28th March 2026 in Warsaw, a new board was elected by the members of the association: two co-presidents, one treasurer, and two non-executive board members. Additionally, three members of the internal audit committee (Komisja Rewizyjna) were voted for by the members of Volt Polska.^[12]

October 16th, 2023 Laurens Dassen of Volt Netherlands was in contact with Volt Poland about the 2023 Polish parliamentary election. He expressed concern that the representative of Volt Poland felt “uncomfortable” speaking on the phone in public about the elections, which emphasised for Dassen how important these elections were. Dassen expressed relief that democratic candidates in Poland could win the elections after years of undemocratic ruling of Law and Justice (PiS).^[13]

During the 2025 Polish presidential election Volt Poland did not have a representative running for president. After the 1st voting round, Volt Poland shared their recommendation whom to vote for during the 2nd voting round.^[14] On behalf of Volt Europa, the member of the European Parliament Reinier van Lanschot expressed support for Rafał Trzaskowski during the second election round between Rafał Trzaskowski and Karol Nawrocki.^[15][16]

Volt Poland regularly organises open meet-ups in Warsaw, Kraków and Katowice that anyone can join. The time and places are communicated via their website and social media^[17][18][19]

March 29th 2025, Volt Poland co-organised an event about health care in Poland. The event was about ways to understand people’s needs, sharing experiences with local Polish institutions and comparing European health care systems.^[20]

June 14th 2025, Volt Poland was present during the Equality Parade (Warsaw) at the “Pride village”.^[21]

Volt Poland supports other Volt representative during their national elections and Elections to the European Parliament. For example, during the 2025 elections in Germany, members of Volt Poland crossed the border to support Volt Germany with collecting signatures and campaigning.^[22]

When Germany started temporary border controls, Volt organised a protest in Schengen, Luxembourg together with Young European Federalists (JEF) to express the importance of the Schengen Agreement for the European economy and social life.^[23][24][25] For this protest, they used the slogan “Don’t touch my Schengen” from the organisation Young European Federalists (JEF). JEF started this campaign in 2016, to raise awareness of the Schengen agreement when politicians on national level plan to start border controls.^[26][27]

July 19th 2025, Volt organised protests in 9 border regions of Germany^[28] Volt Poland organised a protest in the border region Frankfurt Oder and Słubice.^[29] The route of the protest march was adjusted when the municipality of Słubice did not allow the protesters to cross the border to Słubice.^[30][31] The given reasons to prohibit the continuation of the protest on the Polish side of the border, were a risk of counter protesters, social tensions, disrupting the work of border control agents, and the concern that the police could not guarantee the safety of the protesters and other people in Słubice.^[32][33] After the protest in Frankfurt Oder, Volt Poland joined an alternative event that was organised by the municipality of Słubice: the 4th Słubice-Frankfurt Civic Picnic.^[34]

Goals of the Volt Polska association are formally registered at Krajowy Rejestr Sądowy (KRS)^[35], the Polish public registry where basic data of organisations and companies are registered and maintained by the Ministry of Justice (Poland).^[36] The goals mentioned there show a close overlap with activities of Volt Europa and Volt There^[37]
