The agreement assumes close cooperation regarding the conduct of the election campaign; in each electoral district for the Senate of Poland, the constituent parties will back one common candidate. Candidates recommended by parties to the agreement and political parties cooperating will have the exclusive right to use the official logo of the coalition.

To implement the agreement, an organizational team was established, whose work is managed by a representative of Yes! For Poland–Civic Coalition Senator Zygmunt Frankiewicz. The team's task is to divide the electoral districts into individual parties to the agreement, prepare proposals for candidates for Senators of the Republic of Poland and develop a concept for conducting an election campaign. The first informal Senate pact was concluded before the parliamentary elections in 2019.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14]
