The '''2022 South Yorkshire mayoral election''' took place on 5 May 2022 to elect the [[Mayor of South Yorkshire]], the leader of the [[South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority]]. It took place [[2022 United Kingdom local elections|alongside other local elections]] across the United Kingdom. The [[Labour Party (UK)|Labour Party]] candidate, [[Oliver Coppard]], won the election in the second round with 71.4% of the vote.<ref name="southyorkshire-ca.gov.uk" />

== Background ==
In 2018, The South Yorkshire metro mayor position- then known as the Sheffield City Region- [[2018 Sheffield City Region mayoral election|had its inaugural election]]. At the time of its creation, the metro mayor's role was an effectively powerless position, with no salary. It was named this originally because its boundaries went beyond the four boroughs of [[South Yorkshire]] and included some parts of [[Derbyshire]] and [[Nottinghamshire]]. However, these areas did not become constituent parts.<ref name="ShSt-regionalleaders"/> Its lack of power was because the borough councils of Doncaster and Barnsley opposed the creation of the mayoralty and the combined authority (then [[Sheffield City Region Combined Authority]]). They instead favoured a 'One Yorkshire' devolution deal, which would have a Mayor for all of [[Yorkshire]] in 2020.<ref name="BBC-2018scrapdeal">{{cite news |title=Councils call to scrap South Yorkshire mayoral election |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-south-yorkshire-42621791 |access-date=9 September 2021 |work=BBC News |date=9 January 2018}}</ref> [[Dan Jarvis]], [[Member of Parliament (United Kingdom)|MP]] for [[Barnsley Central (UK Parliament constituency)|Barnsley Central]] won this role with at second preferences.

Think Tank [[IPPR]] has reported that the mayor, much like other metro mayors in the [[North of England]] have utilised power beyond the remit given by the government. In South Yorkshire, for instance, the country's first 'ownership hub' was built to help businesses become worker owned or [[co-operatives]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=O'Connor |first1=Rob |title=Northern mayors proving regional devolution works, says IPPR |url=http://www.infrastructure-intelligence.com/article/aug-2021/northern-mayors-proving-regional-devolution-works-says-ippr |access-date=9 September 2021 |work=[[Infrastructure Intelligence]] |date=16 August 2021 |language=en}}</ref> Controversy arose in June 2021 when Jarvis' administration voted to continue a privatised bus service in South Yorkshire, despite previous pledges to bring it into public control.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Topham |first1=Matthew |title=Dan Jarvis’s bus partnership plans expose his lack of ambition for South Yorkshire |url=https://nowthenmagazine.com/articles/dan-jarviss-bus-partnership-plans-expose-his-lack-of-ambition-for-south-yorkshire |access-date=9 September 2021 |work=[[Now Then Sheffield]] |date=7 June 2021 |language=en}}</ref>

==Electoral system==
South Yorkshire, along with other [[Mayors in England|elected mayoralties in England]], will use the [[Contingent vote#Supplementary Vote|supplementary vote]] system, in which voters express a first and second preference of candidates.<ref name="BBC-TVcatpage">{{cite web |title=Mayor of Greater Manchester |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/topics/c50znx8v4l5t/mayor-of-greater-manchester |website=BBC News |access-date=31 January 2020}}</ref>

* If a candidate receives over 50% of the first preference vote the candidate wins.
* If no candidate receives an overall majority, i.e., over 50% of first preference votes, the top two candidates proceed to a second round and all other candidates are eliminated. 
* The first preference votes for the remaining two candidates stand in the final count. 
* Voters' ballots whose first and second preference candidates are eliminated are discarded.
* Voters whose first preference candidates have been eliminated and whose second preference candidate is in the top two have their second preference votes added to the count. 
This means that the winning candidate has the support of a majority of voters who expressed a preference among the top two.

All [[Elections in the United Kingdom#Registration procedure|registered electors]] ([[British citizen|British]], [[Irish citizen|Irish]], [[Commonwealth citizen|Commonwealth]] and [[European Union]] citizens) living in the combined authority area aged 18 or over on 5 May 2022 are entitled to vote in the mayoral election.

Speculation has circulated that the government may remove the supplementary vote system which mayoralties use and replace it with [[first-past-the-post]]- in line with general elections.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Brooke |first1=Sam |title=Labour's Yorkshire mayors 'could be damaged' by voting changes |url=https://www.examinerlive.co.uk/news/local-news/labours-metro-mayors-could-damaged-20622576 |access-date=9 September 2021 |work=[[YorkshireLive]] |date=19 May 2021 |language=en}}</ref>
