In the [[Kingdom of Galicia and Lodomeria]], from 1861, the chairman of the [[Province Sejm of Galicia|Provincial Sejm of Galicia]] with its seat at [[Lwów]] bore the title [[Marszałek krajowy]] (Province Marshal). The [[Kingdom of Poland (1916–1918)|Kingdom of Poland]], from 1916 to 1918, used the title [[Marszałek Rady Stanu]] (Marshal of the State Council).
In the [[Second Polish Republic]] (1918–1939), the [[Legislator|deputies]] elected one of their number as Marshal of the Sejm for the duration of the [[Sejm]]'s term. Until 1935 (when superseded by the [[Marszałek Senatu|Senate Marshal]]), the Marshal or Chairman of the Sejm substituted for the [[President of Poland]] in the latter's absence or disability ([[Acting President of the Republic of Poland]]). Nowadays, it is again the Marshal of the Sejm who becomes the Acting President.
