Though six of the 12 parish constable elections are uncontested in that only one candidate has declared, they will face a vote against a 'none of the candidates' option on the ballot paper.

If ‘none of the candidates’ receives the most votes, no one will be elected and there will be a by-election at a later date.

You can meet the election candidates in person at Jersey’s first Candidate Fayre taking place on Wednesday 29 April at Oakfield Sports Centre on Wellington Hill, St. Saviour.

The event is open to the public: 10:30am – 12:30pm; 1:30 – 4:00pm and 6:00 – 8:00pm.

Manifesto booklets will be delivered to households by 15 May, and details of all the candidates and what they stand for, along with two-minute long videos will be on vote.je and YouTube.

Eligible voters have been automatically added to the electoral register.

Anyone who is unsure of their eligibility should check with their parish.

The deadline to apply for postal voting is 12 noon on Thursday 30 April. All information can be found online at vote.je/postal or paper forms can be collected from Parish Halls.

Dr Michael Marett-Crosby, Chair of the Jersey Electoral Authority, said:

"‘The parish authorities and the JEA have together completed the first nomination process using the new Automatic Voter Registration system. AVR offers a simple route to the ballot box for eligible Islanders.

‘Now we enter the campaign period, with hustings for Senators, Deputies and Connétables in every Parish and constituency so that all Islanders can hear the candidates and ask them questions. These hustings will be live streamed and available via the vote.je website to watch later, for those who cannot attend in person.

‘Our Island election is being held for the first time on a Sunday, with polling stations open from 8am to 8pm on Sunday 7 June. Pre-polling will be open at St Paul Centre from 26 May - 1 June.

 ‘It is so important to our shared future that we all exercise our right to vote. Every voice matters."
