We'll be finding out later who will be the West of England and Bristol mayors. And with a Lord Mayor role too, why does the area need so many? Here's Pete to explain.

With so many elections taking place at once, it’s hard to know what matters the most.

Campaigns have focused on the hardy perennials of housing, transport, or the old classic ‘bobbies on the beat.’

But, the one thing that’s really struck me as I’ve chatted to residents in our region these past few weeks is just how little awareness and understanding there is of the roles people are being asked to vote on.

What’s more, many feel it will make not-a-jot of difference whoever wins. This is a problem.

When talking about the Bristol, West of England and Lord Mayoral roles, one phrase I hear all the time is, “why do we need three Mayors?”

Local Government is complicated and their responsibilities are poorly defined, yet it can make a huge impact on people’s lives.

Whoever emerges victorious, a good starting point might be to acknowledge this, and do something about it.

Saturday is going to be a big one for Bristol and the surrounding area as votes for two mayors are counted.

The first is for the West of England mayor. Conservative Tim Bowles is not seeking re-election, so there will be a new person in that post.

Results are expected mid-afternoon.

Then, it's the Bristol mayor post, which is currently held by Labour's Marvin Rees. Can he secure a second term? Or will somebody new come in?

You'll have to be a night owl for that one. Results expected at midnight, or possibly the early hours of Sunday.

We'll be updating this page through Saturday with the latest.

New Avon and Somerset PCC Mark Shelford has been talking after being elected to the post.

Here's what he's had to say.

Mr Shelford said there is a "great opportunity for good communications" between his office and the government, and that is he looking forward to working with Home Secretary Priti Patel.

His first job will be replacing outgoing chief constable Andy Marsh.

Mark Shelford, a Conservative, is elected as Avon and Somerset's PCC for the first time.

Conservative candidate Mark Shelford has been elected as Avon and Somerset's next police and crime commissioner.

He received 34.4% of first preference votes and was elected after second preference votes were counted, beating Labour's Kerry Barker.
