Police and Crime Commissioner election
Cambridgeshire
15 November 2012
Sir Graham Bright is the Police and Crime Commissioner for Cambridgeshire.
This was the first election of its kind and was county-wide. There were seven candidates. Voters had the opportunity to select two candidates – their main choice and, if they wished, a second candidate.
At the count, if any candidate obtained more than 50% of the vote, he or she was automatically the winner. In the event of this not happening, the two candidates with the largest vote went head to head in a second count, this time with the second choice votes of the unsuccessful candidates being counted.
The result of the election was as follows:
First round results – entire county
Ansar Ali, Ind – 12,706
