‘New Voting System’

This was the fourth time Police and Crime Commissioner elections have been held, with the first election taking place in 2012.

Previous PCC elections in England and Wales have used the supplementary vote system, which is different to a normal election.

Supplementary voting is when voters mark on the ballot paper their first choice and can – if they wish, it’s not compulsory – mark on the ballot paper their second choice too.

However, following legislative changes, the 2024 PCC Elections used the first past the post voting system, where voters voted by choosing one candidate on the ballot paper. This is the same system as UK Parliamentary elections and local elections in England and Wales.

‘Results breakdown’

The results for Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner’s elections were as follows:

Ian Harrison (Conservative) 25%
Dafydd Llywelyn (Plaid Cymru) 41%
Philippa Thompson (Labour) 24%
Justin Griffiths (Welsh Liberal Democrats) 10%

The new PCC term begins on Thursday 9th of May 2024.
