Tuesday, 12 May 2026 09:46

Printed booklets containing the manifestos of 92 election candidates are being delivered to every Jersey home this week.

The 106-page brochure has been produced by vote dot je to help voters choose who to support in the 7 June poll for senators, deputies and constables.

The political hopefuls set out why they are seeking election, what issues they believe need addressing in the island and what their priorities will be if they get into the States Assembly.

Some say what job they would be seeking in government.

The booklet also explains - in both English and Portuguese - how and where to cast your ballot.

Options include voting before election day (pre-poll voting) at St Paul's Centre on weekdays from 26 May - 1 June

It also reminds voters they will need to bring photo ID with them.

There are also examples of what the ballot papers will look like, and an explanation that you will need to put a cross in the box beside your choice(s) of candidate.

We will be able to vote for up to 9 senators from 17 candidates, one parish constable and between 2 and 4 deputies depending on which district we live in.

49 people will make up the next States Assembly - 9 senators, 28 deputies and 12 constables.

Candidates are currently taking part in a series of hustings, where they are answering questions from members of the public. Themes that have dominated discussions so far have included tackling the high cost of living, addressing housing affordability and making the island a more attractive place of young people to build their future.

Details of when and where these hustings are taking place can be found here.
