With only one week to go until the voter registration deadline for next month’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) elections, anyone wanting to vote must make sure they are registered in time.
The deadline to register to vote is midnight on April 16. You can apply online at gov.uk/register-to-vote. It takes just five minutes.
On Thursday May 2, voters will go to the polls to vote for North Wales’ PCC. The role of the PCC is to ensure the policing needs of their communities are met as effectively as possible, bringing communities closer to the police, building confidence in the system and restoring trust.
PCCs give the public a voice at the highest level, and give the public the ability to ensure their police are accountable.
With less than one week to go, time is running out to make sure you can take part in this election.
Voters have a range of options – they can vote in person, by post or by appointing someone they trust to vote in their place, known as a proxy vote. You can find out more about the different ways to vote on the council’s PCC election webpage.
