ENThis article discusses selected aspects of the way Lithuanian sejmiks proceeded in the times of Permanent council (especially in the years 1776–1786). The author refers to particular pieces of information on the county of Kaunas which were mentioned in Akta sejmiku kowieńskiego w latach 1733–1795 published by Monika Jusupović in 2019. The information found in the abovementioned book was tested against the relevant data concerning the sejmiks of Lida and Ukmergė collected in the process of research in the archives of Minsk and Vilnius. For comparative reasons the author of this article makes use of the results of research by Lithuanian historians (on the sejmik of Vilnius) as well as the contributions of Polish and Belarusian historians. The author focuses (among others) on the functioning of economic, relational and electoral sejmiks. The article also contains information on different types of sejmik documents which were typical for Lithuanian parliamentary practice. Besides, it discusses additional items of information related to the political life in the county of Kaunas which were not referred to by M. Jusupović. The final part of the article emphasizes distinctive aspects of research on the Lithuanian parliamentary practice. Owing to the custom of signing the sejmik Lauda by the unlimited number of participants, it is now possible to state roughly how large the gathering was. In the second part of the 18th c. there were still considerable differences between the sejmiks in the Crown and Lithuania even though the models in respective countries tended to converge.
