Straight fight in police elections in Dyfed-Powys
With less than three weeks to go before the Police and Crime Commissioner elections, voters in the Dyfed Powys Police area are reminded that they will have a straight choice between two candidates.
Dyfed Powys is one of the few areas in the country where only two candidates are standing for election on November 15.
Elsewhere where there are two or more candidates, a Supplementary Vote system will operate whereby each voter will have the opportunity to vote for the first and second choice candidates.
Police Area Returning Officer Bryn Parry-Jones said: “This will not be the case in Dyfed Powys. As there are only two candidates standing, voters have a straightforward choice and will be asked to make their selection using only one cross as in a General Election.”
To take part in the election, householders must be registered to vote. The deadline for this is Wednesday, October 31 – the same day as the deadline for postal vote application forms.
The two candidates in the Dyfed Powys Police area are Christine Gwyther (Welsh Labour) and Christopher Salmon (Welsh Conservative).
Information on both of them is available from the website: www.choosemypcc.org.uk. To receive this printed information by post, call 0800 1070708.
