DULY ELECTED: BACH, Willy – The Labour Party

The PCC elections used the Supplementary Voting system, where voters were able to choose a first preference candidate and a second preference candidate.

When the first preference votes had been counted, no candidate had an overall majority (more than 50%). This meant the second preference votes for the top two candidates – Willy Bach and Neil Durban Bannister – were counted. First preference and second preference votes for these two candidates were then added together and the candidate with the most total votes won the election.

Results of first preference vote count: 

BACH, Willy – 67,991 votes NO OVERALL MAJORITY
BANNISTER, Neil Durban – 46,958 votes NO OVERALL MAJORITY
HILL, Sarah – 19,359 votes NO OVERALL MAJORITY
SPRASON, David – 17,815 votes NO OVERALL MAJORITY
