SUMMARY:Police and Crime Commissioner Election
DESCRIPTION:Voter ID needed for Police and Crime Commissioner Election\nResidents across Cambridgeshire are being encouraged to check they have Voter ID for the Police and Crime Commissioner election due to take place on Thursday 2 May.\nGovernment legislation means all voters must take with them an acceptable form of ID when voting at polling stations.\nWithout it, potential voters risk not having their say in the four-yearly vote to elect a new Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire. A full list of accepted ID is available on our website ( https://www.eastcambs.gov.uk/elections-voting/what-photographic-id-will-be-accepted-polling-stations ).\nThe Police and Crime Commissioner acts as the bridge between the public and the police service.\nThey are responsible for delivering an efficient police service in Cambridgeshire.\nIn particular, they must explore opportunities to work in collaboration with other police forces and organisations to seek ways of improving effectiveness and efficiency, thereby providing better value for the tax payer.\nThey also award crime and disorder reduction grants to support the police in reducing crime and provide services to help and support victims of crime.\nThey are there to represent the public – not the police – and are there to hold the police to account on your behalf.\nBoth commissioners and the police have a duty to listen to people’s views on crime and policing in order to understand local concerns.\nThis enables commissioners to produce a police and crime plan that is relevant to the local community and that responds to local community needs.\nVoters across the county will go to the polls on Thursday 2 May.\nThe results will be announced on Friday 3 May from the Ross Peers Sports Centre in Soham by John Hill, the Police Area Returning Officer (PARO) for Cambridgeshire.\nJohn, who is also the Chief Executive of East Cambridgeshire District Council, has been PARO for the Cambridgeshire Police Area since the inception of the role of Police and Crime Commissioners in 2012.\nHe said: It’s incredibly important that voters understand what the Police and Crime Commissioner does and why it’s so important for them to turn out to vote on 2 May. It’s hoped that this information will help voters to feel more confident about the process, and to feel more informed when making their votes.”\n \nThe candidates\nIn Cambridgeshire there are three candidates:\n\nEdna Helen Murphy – Liberal Democrats\nDarryl Preston – Conservative Candidate – More Police, Safer Streets\nAnna Smith – Labour and Co-operative Party\n\nFrom 10 April you can see what each of the three candidates have to say at:\nhttps://choosemypcc.org.uk/\n \nThe election timetable – key dates\nLast day to register to vote                                     Tuesday 16 April\nLast day to apply for a postal vote                        Wednesday 17 April\nLast day to apply for a proxy vote                         Wednesday 24 April\nPolling day                                                              Thursday 2 May\nResults announced                                                 Friday 3 May\nServing Commissioner’s final day in post            Wednesday 8 May\nWinning Commissioner’s first day in post            Thursday 9 May\nThe voting process\nPolling stations across the county will be open between 7am and 10pm on Thursday 2 May.
