First police commissioners chosen amid turnout concerns
The first police and crime commissioners have been elected, as concerns are raised about low turnout in parts of England and Wales.
Numerous areas have confirmed turnouts ranging from 13-20%.
The chairwoman of the Electoral Commission said the turnout was "a concern for everyone who cares about democracy".
David Cameron said numbers were always going to be low when holding an election for the first time.
"It takes time to explain a new post," the prime minister said, and he predicted voting numbers would be "much higher next time round".
Police and crime commissioners will have powers to hire and fire chief constables and set police strategy and budgets.
The government says PCCs will give local people more control over policing, but opponents have warned the changes will politicise the police - and low turnout shows people don't want them.
As the election results started to come in on Friday, it became clear many voters had stayed away from the polls.
If you live in England and Wales, did you vote?
