The polls have opened for the 2024 Police & Crime Commissioner election, with Islanders able to vote for their preferred candidate until 22:00 tonight (Thursday). 4 candidates are vying for your vote to become the next Police & Crime Commissioner for the Hampshire and Isle of Wight region. The Conservative’s Donna Jones has held the role since 2021 and is standing for re-election against Lib Dem Prad Bains, Labour’s Becky Williams and Don Jerrard of the Justice and Anti Corruption Party. Those registered to vote will have received a polling card through the post, but the card is not required to vote. However, you must be registered to vote, you must vote at your local polling station and you must show photo identification. Polling stations will close at 22:00 tonight, with the count to get underway on Friday morning. The result is expected to be announced later in the day.

Why would anyone vote for someone who does nothing for the island at all.
What do they do for anyone?
I filed mine nicely in the bin when it arrived.
Good job done, all are a waste of time, even our MP
is a part time MP.
We need an Island Based MP, not a tourist
Not being funny, but does it really matter?
A vote for the PCC is a vote for the workshy who contribute nothing to society. From an orderly queue now.
problem is, that if you don’t vote,.. one of them still gets in…
the position and the money spent on it won’t just disapear if no-one votes….
if you think it’s a waste of money,..better to vote for a candidate who has stated their intention to get rid of the position & spend the money on real policing….
Hardly, not even ‘local’ to the country, let alone the Island.
Who cares ? They do nothing for the island and cost a fortune.
This is a sentiment that seems to be shared by one of the candidates whose aim is to abolish the PCC and save £3m pa as a result.
so a vote for that candidate is a vote to get rid of the PCC and save £3m pa ???
…I’m in.!
Then vote Lib Dem.
no it is a ploy to get people to vote for him- once in, there would be a statement saying that despite every effort, the role could not be disbanded and he would continue to collect the salary for four years
You know to much

A rare occasion for most islanders to practice writing their signature without looking utterly stupid.
Doesn’t the police staion have a superintendant in charge ? That’s all we need on the Island, not some penpusher sitting behind a desk all day sipping on Iced Lates and raking in a huge salary just to tell us we need more officers on the ground…
What do they even do?
As long as it’s not the incumbent Jones, or there will be 4 more yrs of nothing ..and at our expense.. Islanders please vote wisely .. thank you .
Get rid of paper pushers…like this!
What a waste of money will nothing stop the gravy train
