How is a Police and Crime Commissioner elected?
Police and Crime Commissioners are elected using the First Past the Post system, where the candidate that receives the most votes across the whole of the voting area (eg county of Lincolnshire) is elected.
One local authority for each Police Force Area will be designated as the Police Area Returning Officer and will have the overall responsibility for the administration of the election for that area. This is the City of Lincoln Council.
What does a Police and Crime Commissioner do?
Further information about this role is available on the Association of Police and Crime Commissioner's website and Lincolnshire Police & Crime Commissioner's website.
