Catholic Electoral Action (Template:Lang-pl), abbreviated as WAK, was a right-wing electoral committee that participated in the 1991 Polish parliamentary election. The committee's members belonged to the Christian democratic and national conservative Christian National Union.[1] Led by Wiesław Chrzanowski, Catholic Electoral Action won 49 seats in the Sejm and 9 seats in Senat during the 1991 poll. The committee enjoyed quasi support from the Roman Catholic Church and received relatively strong support in rural areas.[1] Following the election's conclusion, the Christian National Union disbanded its nom de guerre Catholic Electoral Action, sitting in parliament under the party's actual name.[2]
