PCC Election

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are democratically elected every four years. The next election is due to take place in May 2024. 

Due to the Coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, the planned PCC elections in 2020 were delayed until May 2021. In Wiltshire, due to unforeseen circumstances, another election was held in August 2021. 

For more information on the election please visit the Electoral Commission website. 

Wiltshire’s PCC Election is coordinated jointly by Wiltshire Council and Swindon Borough Council, the county’s two unitary authorities.  

Details of the Police Area Returning Officer (PARO), who will be appointed by both Councils to coordinate the elections, will be provided here once they are known. 

Wiltshire and Swindon’s Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) will provide an information pack and other information for PCC candidates ahead of the election.  

It is important that we provide every candidate with the same access to information, so will publish all information provided on a publicly viewable Transparency Log on these pages. 

The Home Office will also provide a webpage that will provide information on each candidate ahead of the election. We will post links to these pages once they are live.
