Lublin Voivodship (in Polish województwo lubelskie) is an administrative and local government region or voivodship in the eastern part of Poland. It was created on 1 January 1999 out of the former Lublin (2), Chelm, Zamosc, Biala Podlaska and partly Tarnobrzeg and Siedlce voivodships as a result of Local Government Reogranization Act of 1998.
