Abstract
The aim of the research is to assess the influence of voter turnout and education level of councillors — which can be considered as the elements affecting the agency relationship — on the efficiency of public goods delivery by gminas. Public Sector Efficiency (PSE) index was used as a measure of efficiency. On the basis of the cross-sectional sample, the parameters of the econometric model were estimated for all gminas and their brakedown into: urban including cities with powiat rights, urban-rural and rural. Data published by the CSO and the National Electoral Commission for 2014 were used. The results did not confirm agency dependence understood as a greater involvement of citizens in politics and better control of power. They indicated, however, the possibility of a positive relationship between councillors’ competencies and the efficiency of public goods delivery to the residents of gminas.
