# List of county flags of Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship

Counties (powiat) in Warmian-Masurian Voivodeship, Poland have symbols in the form of flags.
According to the definition, a flag is a sheet of fabric of a specific shape, colour and meaning, attached to a spar or mast. It may also include the coat of arms or emblem of the administrative unit concerned. 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. In its original version, it only allowed territorial units to establish coats of arms. 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 of Voivodeships, powiats and municipalities to establish this symbol of territorial unit was officially confirmed. This change benefited powiats, which were reinstated in 1999.
In 2024, Warmińsko-Mazurskie Voivodeship had its own flag in 17 out of 19 poviats (powiats: Nowomiejski and Olsztyński did not have a flag) and 2 cities with powiat rights. This symbol, since 2002, has been established by the voivodeship itself.
