The Central Polish Electoral Committee (Lithuanian: Lenkų centralinis rinkimų komietetas, LCRK) was a political party in inter-war Lithuania.

History

The LCRK contested the first parliamentary elections in Lithuania in 1920, receiving 4.3% of the vote and winning three seats.^[1] The 1922 elections saw the party reduced to two seats.

In the 1923 elections the party won four seats, and retained all four in the 1926 elections. However, a military coup saw the Seimas dissolved in December 1926 and no further multi-party elections were held again until the 1990s.
