DULY ELECTED: BACH, Willy - The Labour Party
The PCC elections used the Supplementary Voting system, where voters were able to choose a first preference candidate and a second preference candidate.
When the first preference votes had been counted, no candidate had an overall majority (more than 50%). This meant the second preference votes for the top two candidates - Willy Bach and Neil Durban Bannister - were counted. First preference and second preference votes for these two candidates were then added together and the candidate with the most total votes won the election.
