Marc Jones has been elected Lincolnshire's Police and Crime Commissioner for a third time.
He won 39,639 of the 108,207 votes cast. However, the margin between the Conservative and Labour candidates was just 7,708.
Mr Jones said: 'I think what we've seen is a lot of Conservatives across the country are staying at home. That means they're undecided, they haven't chosen to vote for somebody else, they're undecided.' Lincolnshire is currently the lowest funded force in the UK per head of the population. Mr Jones said: 'I am prepared to do everything possible to challenge the Home Office on the funding. We have to make the most of what we have and be efficient, effective and innovative. But I am prepared to do everything I can to protect Lincolnshire's interests.'
The City of Lincoln vote was declared separately to the county. Mr Horder won 8,041 votes there to Mr Jones' 4,695.
