Each round has a separate valid-ballot denominator; percentages and vote counts are never added across rounds. Candidate party/support labels describe the election-era source, not an ideological assessment or proof of formal membership. The President was chosen by the legislature/National Assembly. This is not a popular presidential election. Only the specified decisive ballot is tabulated; earlier assembly ballots are not combined. Józef Piłsudski won this assembly vote but refused to take office. A new election on 1 June chose Ignacy Mościcki; the two elections are distinct.
