  "text": "(This note is not part of the Order)\nThis Order makes additional provision for the publication of details of candidates, and their election addresses, for election to the office of police and crime commissioner.\nArticles 3 and 4 of this Order apply to all elections for police and crime commissioners and extend the provisions in the Police and Crime Commissioner Elections Order 2012 (“the 2012 Order”) relating to the publication of the candidates’ election addresses on a website in ordinary elections, to all elections. This will have the effect of putting by-elections on the same footing as ordinary elections in respect of the publicity available to candidates.\nArticles 7 to 9 of this Order apply only in respect of the first by-election for a police and crime commissioner where the date of the poll occurs after the coming into force of this Order. These articles amend article 52 of the 2012 Order to the effect that candidates in that election to the office of police and crime commissioner shall be entitled to have their election addresses included in a booklet of election addresses which will be delivered to each household in the police area.\nArticle 10 of this Order applies in the same circumstances as Articles 7 to 9, and amends Schedule 8 to the 2012 Order to provide further details about how the election booklets will be compiled and delivered. It removes the obligation on the Secretary of State to send out copies of the election addresses (following a request from a person entitled to vote in that election) where an election booklet has been delivered. It imposes a requirement on candidates to pay a contribution to the police area returning officer towards the costs of printing the election booklets.",
