There are three ways people can vote in the Senedd and Police and Crime Commissioner election: by post, by appointing someone they trust to vote in their place (known as a proxy vote), or in person. The deadline to apply for a postal vote is 5pm on April 20; the deadline for a proxy vote is 5pm on April 27. For those who choose to vote in person, polling stations will be open on May 6. People voting in person are asked to bring their own pen or pencil, wear a face covering, clean hands when entering and leaving the station, and keep a safe distance from other voters.

Anneliese Dodds met Dr Paul Williams at Liberty Steel in the town. While there they toured the steel mill and met with workers there. After the visit, Ms Dodds said: I ve wanted to visit for some time. It was really fantastic to see the technology in action - it s critical for the UK s future, including Hartlepool. What really matters to me - I know Paul Williams has been speaking to a lot of people in Hartlepool - the healthcare system, people are wanting to have that conversation with the Labour party. Now think we can have a better connection with someone on the frontline. The choice at this election is someone like Paul Williams backing our key workers, compared to the Conservatives pay cut, we ve got to get that message across, and I ve got to be here in Hartlepool to play my part in that.
