POLICE AND CRIME COMMISSIONER ELECTION 2024
Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are normally elected every four years. The last election was held in May 2021.
The next election will take place on Thursday 2 May 2024.
What is the PCC?
The Police and Crime Commissioner's role is to represent their local communities on policing matters and hold the police to account. PCCs aim to cut crime and deliver an effective and efficient police service within their force area. The PCC is unique in that it is a role elected by the public which makes it unlike any other role in the policing environment. For more information on the role of the PCC, please see the About the role of a PCC section on our website.
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 (e.g. county of Lincolnshire) is elected.
One local authority for each Police Force Area will be designated as the Police Area Returning Officer (PARO) and will have the overall responsibility for the administration of the election for that area. This is the City of Lincoln Council.
Information about the forthcoming PCC election is available from the Police Area Returning Officer for Lincolnshire
