Election of the Police and Crime Commissioner for the
Merseyside Area
The first election of a Police and Crime Commissioner for the
area covered by the Merseyside Police Force was held on Thursday 15
November 2012.
The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Act 2011 was passed
by Parliament on Thursday, 15 September 2011 and one of the key
parts of the Act was to introduce the role of an elected Police and
Crime Commissioner for each of the 41 Police Forces in England and
Wales outside London.
Each Police Force area held an election on Thursday, 15 November
2012 for the first Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC).
For each Police Force area, one council acts as the lead
authority to deal with the nomination of candidates and with
coordinating the results. For the Merseyside Police Area the lead
authority is Liverpool City Council.
View the
Liverpool City Council website for full details of the
results.

election arrangements for voters.
For the Merseyside Police Authority area the following Councils
held elections:
