New Police & Crime Commissioner - elections in November

[tek-monkey]

Given that so few people actually voted, why is it taking so long to declare results?

In one station at least they had no votes to count!

According to SBC Tweets:

Results from the PCC election count at Stafford Borough are Ellis (Con) 7,666 and Garner (Lab) 5,763. Rejected papers 537. Turn out 14.27%.

Turn out was 14.27% - that's 13,966 voters

Therefore, spoiled votes are 3.85%

Has Staffordshire been declared? Beeb not stating it, looks like just Stafford Borough declared...

The 3.85% is my own maths, and a rounded up figure from 3.8450% got from 537/13966 * 100

Perhaps we could have a whip-round and buy our own Forum copper..?

I am pleased to see that, according to the BBC website, we have the lowest turn out so far at 11.6%.

Which begs the question, with only two candidates, what took so long?

So, Commissioner Ellis is in post courtesy of the votes of less than 8% of the electorate. Is this a credible mandate? Who do you think will be pulling his chain - the miserable, misguided 8% or his political masters in Whitehall?
