Registering to vote in the Polish elections

I can't bear the joke that Polish politics has become any longer and I want to register to vote in the Polish elections and start doing my bit. Does anyone know how I go about doing that?

I got my Polish passport a year ago through the embassy in London (I was born there, but both parents were born in Poland) and have been living in Poland for 2 years now but am not 'zameldowana' here. Does anyone know where/how/with whom do I need to register as a voter? I'm hoping that someone can help as I suspect my only other option is to join the 2km queue outside the Polish consulate in London and wait for one of the 3 ladies working there to have time to see me...

do you speak Polish? because you will need it to talk to the people in Urząd Miasta - they don't speak foreign languages too often.
do you also have Polish ID card? or only passport? ID card is better.
anyway, the best case scenario is that you go to Urząd Miejski (or Urząd Miasta - it's the same, but they use different names sometimes) and they should register you to vote (you will probably receive a piece of paper stating that you're not "zameldowana" anywhere - and you have to bring that paper with you to the voting commitee, anbd the ID card/passport as well, of course), but that's how it works with Polish people who can't vote in the place they live. if there are different rules for your case, then I don't know
and you have to register quite a while before the election day, so start the formalities ASAP.

Thank you very much for this Krzysztof! I do speak Polish and I'll give the Urzad Miejski a go next week.

And no, the twins are definitely NOT an option for me...
