The elections were for 40 of the 43 territorial police forces in England and Wales using the supplementary vote system; the two police forces of Greater London are not involved (the elected Mayor of London is classed as the police and crime commissioner for the Metropolitan Police District, while the Court of Common Council fulfils the role for the City of London Police). There was no election for the Greater Manchester Police as the role of police and crime commissioner was due to be abolished in 2017 and replaced with the directly elected Mayor of Greater Manchester.http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/362/elections_and_voting/6838/types_of_elections/5 Police and Crime Commissioner / Greater Manchester Mayor manchester.gov.uk 5 March 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20170127062113/http://www.manchester.gov.uk/info/362/elections_and_voting/6838/types_of_elections/5 27 January 2017 dead Elections for police and crime commissioners do not take place in Scotland or Northern Ireland as policing and justice powers are devolved to the Scottish Parliament and Northern Ireland Assembly.http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2011/13/section/156/enacted Section 156, Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 legislation.gov.uk 15 July 2011 20 September 2015
This was the second time police and crime commissioner elections had been held.
Background
The election used the supplementary vote system: voters were instructed to mark the ballot paper with their first and second choices of candidate (although there were an unusually large number of spoilt ballots). If no candidate got a majority of first preference votes, the top two candidates went on to a second round in which second preference votes of the eliminated candidates were allocated to them to produce a winner. This is the system used to elect London's mayor.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-19504639 BBC News – Q&A: Police and crime commissioners Bbc.co.uk 11 September 2012 4 March 2016 Section 57 of the Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 directs that the voting system is first past the post if there are only two candidates for a specific commissioner region.Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 Legislation.gov.uk
The role of police and crime commissioner for the Greater Manchester Police was abolished in 2017 and replaced with the directly elected Mayor of Greater Manchester, who assumed the responsibilities of the police and crime commissioner. No election was therefore held in 2016 and Tony Lloyd remained as police and crime commissioner and interim mayor until the mayoral election took place in 2017.
Parties standing
Both Labour and the Conservatives fielded candidates in all 40 elections, while UKIP fielded 34 candidates and the Liberal Democrats 30 candidates. The Green Party fielded seven candidates and the English Democrats four candidates. Plaid Cymru fielded candidates for all four Welsh seats. There were 29 other candidates; 25 stood as independents and four stood under other labels (one as Lincolnshire Independents and three as Zero Tolerance Policing ex Chief).
