Catholic Electoral Action (Polish: Wyborcza Akcja Katolicka), 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. 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. 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.
