Councils are urging locals who are on the electoral register to make sure they vote in the PCC election by visiting their local polling station between 7am and 10pm on polling day or by returning their postal voting packs.
Dr Jo Farrar, Police Area Returning Officer for Avon and Somerset, and Local Returning Officer for Bath & North East Somerset Council said: “With the election taking place next week, we want to make sure that everyone knows how to cast their vote with confidence on Thursday 5 May.
“Anyone looking for more information will likely find the answer to their questions at www.avonpccelection2016.org.uk, and they can get in touch with the Electoral Services team here at the Council if they have any further queries.”
“Over 21,500 electors are registered to vote by post in Bath and North East Somerset at this PCC election and they have recently been sent their postal vote.
