Electoral System[edit]

Election use first-past-the-post voting. Prior to the passage of the Elections Act 2022, the supplementary vote system was used: voters marked the ballot paper with their first and second choices of candidate. If no candidate had a majority of first-preference votes, all but the top two candidates were eliminated, and second-preference votes (but only those cast for those two candidates) were then counted in addition, to produce a winner. However, the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 directed that first-past-the-post would be used if there were only two candidates for a specific commissioner region.

Commissioners have a set four-year term of office. There is no limit on the number of terms which a PCC can serve.
