Willersey residents voted to choose a Police & Crime commissioner on May 5th.
You had two votes.
Police and Crime Commissioner elections use the supplementary vote system. Your ballot paper had two columns. You voted for a
first and second choice of who you wanted to win.
For this election Willersey voters had a choice between three candidates:-
| KIRBY Barry Peter | Labour Party |
| SURL Martin John | Independent |
| WINDSOR-CLIVE Will | The Conservative Party Candidate |
Search for Gloucestershire PCC Kirby, Gloucestershire PCC Surl, and Gloucestershire PCC Windsor-Clive to find out about the candidates.
The result is that Martin Surl has been re-elected to the role of Police and Crime Commissioner for Gloucestershire. He received 41% of the first preference votes and
was elected after the second preference votes were counted, when no candidates received more than 50% of first preference votes.
Mr Surl received a total of 78,592 first and second preferences compared to his nearest challenger, the Conservative Will Windsor-Clive.
Mr Windsor-Clive received 51,567 of the first and second preference votes.
The only other candidate, Labour Barry Kirby, was eliminated after the first round of counting because he did not have enough votes to continue.
Turnout was 30%, up from 17% in 2012.
Mr Surl said he wanted to thank everyone who “made it possible” for him, but added: “The work is just beginning here now.
“I will do my very, very best to serve the county well, to make sure the police serve you well, and that we are a decent, honourable county.”
| Candidate | First Round Vote | Second Preference Vote |
| KIRBY Barry Peter | 33,825 | |
| SURL Martin John | 57,447 | 21,145 |
| WINDSOR-CLIVE Will | 46,965 | 4,602 |
