Everything you need to know about the elections today

Today, you get the chance to vote for the first ever Mayor for the East Midlands Combined County Authority and the next Police and Crime Commissioner in the elections taking place up until 10pm tonight (Thursday 2 May).

Nottingham City Council, Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council and Nottinghamshire County Council have opened the door to a massive £4billion investment in transport, skills, housing and the environment after securing a deal for a new East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA), which will be led by a Mayor, similar to areas like the West Midlands, Greater Manchester and South Yorkshire.

The East Midlands deal is one of the biggest so far, and the Mayor will have powers and resources currently held by Westminster. The EMCCA is being funded by government and will not take money away from existing council budgets.

Residents are also able to vote for who should be their Police and Crime Commissioner today. The commissioner is responsible for policing across the county, ensuring the delivery of an effective and efficient police service.

You have ONE vote on each of your ballot papers

*How to fill out your ballot papers*


* Read both ballot papers and instructions at the top carefully
* Decide who you want to vote for
* Vote for your chosen candidate by putting an X in the box to the right of their name
* Once done, fold the papers, return to the desk, and place each paper in the appropriate ballot box.

Do not put your paper(s) in the ballot box if you make a mistake, just ask the staff and they will be able to advise you and re-issue your paper(s), if necessary

The East Midlands Combined County Authority (EMCCA) Mayoral Election and the Police & Crime Commissioner Election are both first-past-the-post, so you will have ONE vote on each of the ballot papers and the candidate who gets the highest number of votes will be declared the winner
