About PCCs

The Association of Police and Crime Commissioners has produced this short animation explaining the role of PCCs, including their responsibilities, what they do for local communities, how their role is different to that of a Chief Constable, how they are answerable to the public, who elects them and where to find out more information.

Key election dates

  • The pre-election period will commence when the PARO publishes the Notice of Election. This has been confirmed as Tuesday 26 March 2024.
  • The pre-election period will end when the newly elected PCC takes office.
  • The list of candidates confirmed as standing in the election, known as the statement of persons nominated, will be published. This is likely to be early April 2024. There is a distinction between prospective candidates (those nominated by a political party or expressing interest in the role before this date) and those confirmed as candidates by the statement of persons nominated.
  • The election will take place on Thursday 2 May 2024.
  • The vote count will be conducted, this could take place on election day, or in the days immediately following, this depending on PARO arrangements and other elections taking place.
