Guidance for Local Returning Officers administering a Police and Crime Commissioner election in England and Wales

Any requests to inspect or for supply of the marked register, marked absent voting lists and documentation relating to the election must be made in writing. Full guidance on this requirement is found in our ERO guidance for England and Wales.

You can find the full list of documents open to inspection from postal vote opening sessions, polling stations and the count in our guidance on sealing and retaining election documents.

The PARO will retain the nomination papers and the home address forms and will not forward these to the ERO after the election. These documents are not open for inspection after the election.
