Supplementary Voting
PCC elections use the Supplementary Vote system, which is different to a normal election.
Supplementary voting works as follows. Voters should mark on the ballot paper their first choice and can – if they wish, it’s not compulsory – mark on the ballot paper their second choice too.
If a candidate receives more than half of all the first choice votes, they are elected immediately.
