In addition to declaring the result, you must give public notice of:1
The name of the candidate elected. You should also include their description (if any).
The number of rejected ballot papers as shown in the statement of rejected ballot papers
You should ensure that a copy of the notice of result is made available to all interested parties as soon as possible, and must publish it in a conspicuous place or places in the police authority area. This should include local authority offices, notice boards, libraries and other public buildings, and on your local authority website.
You must send a copy to each LRO for them to give public notice of the result within their voting area. You must also send a copy of this public notice to the Minister.
Declaration of the acceptance of office
The successful candidate must make a declaration of acceptance of office in a prescribed form, which must be delivered to the appropriate officer in the police area. Legislation sets out that the declaration must be delivered to the head of paid service of a particular local authority designated by the Minister.
If you are the head of paid service of the local authority designated by the Minister in the police area for this purpose, you should send a copy of the declaration to the Minister. You should keep the original secure until the next PCC election.2
