The polls are open for people of Rotherham, Sheffield, Barnsley and Doncaster to cast their vote on who should lead the South Yorkshire combined authority.
New for this year, the elected Mayor of South Yorkshire will also take on the functions of the police and crime commissioner.
Candidates have put forward their ideas on what they would do with these new responsibilities.
Hannah Kitching, the liberal democrats candidate, promises safer communities, with a focus on “Getting back to proper community policing.”
Sitting Mayor Oliver Coppard promises to “tackle knife crime” as one of his top priorities upon re-election.
All candidates have much to say on the subject of transport.
Nick Allen, Conservative candidate, said: “I want to make transport accessible, transparent and fair. This means not wasting vast amounts of taxpayers’ cash on the Supertrams.”
Oliver Coppard has made progress on his transport promises following his victory in 2022, saying: “We’ve taken the tram back under public control, we’ve taken on private bus companies that have failed to deliver for South Yorkshire.”
With polls open until 10pm and our 90 second briefing, it’s not too late to find out which candidate is best for you.
