The flag of Podlaskie Voivodeship.

A flag is a sheet of fabric of a specific shape, colour and meaning, attached to a spar or mast.[1] It may also include the coat of arms or emblem of the administrative unit it represents. In Poland, territorial units (municipal, city, and county councils) may establish flags in accordance with the Act of 21 December 1978 on badges and uniforms.[2] In its original version, the act only allowed territorial units to establish coats of arms.[3] It was not until the "Act of 29 December 1998 amending certain acts in connection with the implementation of the state system reform" that the right for provinces, counties, and municipalities to establish a flag as the symbol of their territorial unit was officially confirmed. This change benefited powiats, which were reinstated in 1999.[4]

As of 2017, all 14 counties and three cities with county rights in Podlaskie Voivodeship have their own flag. Addationally, the voivodeship itself has had a flag since 2002, shown above.[5]
