Election day has arrived in Jersey, with polling stations open across the island until 8pm.
Voters are being asked to choose from 92 candidates standing for 49 seats in the States Assembly.
This year's election also marks the return of senators, with 17 candidates competing for nine islandwide seats.
Depending on where they live, voters will also be able to elect two, three or four deputies.
The third ballot paper is for parish constable. In six parishes, where only one candidate is standing, voters can choose either that candidate or select 'none'.
For the first time, eligible islanders have been automatically added to the electoral register, making it easier to take part.
Remember, you must vote at the polling station linked to your home address and bring photo ID with you.
Once voting closes, counting will get underway, with results expected overnight and into Monday 8 June.
Staff from the States Greffe will be conducting surveys at polling stations throughout the day to better understand islander's experience of voting, and how it can be made better in future elections.
The survey has seven questions, including how they found out about their candidates, what motivated them to head to the poll, and what would make it easier to vote next time.
Jenny O'Brien, Head of Digital and Public Engagement at the States Greffe, said:
"Gaining a better insight into why people decided to vote, as well as how they found out the necessary information on candidates and the voting process, helps us to improve our communication and engagement strategy in the future.
"We would be really grateful for a few minutes of voters’ time to provide us with this valuable feedback."
