There are three ways you can vote in Jersey elections: by post, by voting early at pre-poll, or in person on Election Day.
All three options are available to every Islander who is eligible to vote, so you can choose the one that works best for you.
1. Postal Voting
Postal voting is a convenient option for voters who may be travelling, have mobility challenges, or prefer the flexibility of voting from the comfort of their own home. Voting by post is a great option for students from Jersey who are studying off-Island and do not want to miss out. It ensures your voice is heard, even if you cannot attend the polling station in person.
Once you have received your ballot papers, mark an ‘x’ in the box alongside the name(s) of your preferred candidate(s), or ‘none of the candidates’ if this is available and your preferred option.
Completed ballot papers must be returned in the sealed envelope provided to the Judicial Greffe, to be included in the count.
Important:
- Once registered for postal voting, voters will be disqualified from voting in person at the polling station on Election Day unless they take the postal ballot papers that were originally sent to them to the polling station. No additional ballot papers will be provided at the polling station.
- It is not possible to use your postal ballot papers at Early Voting (pre-poll) at St. Paul’s Centre, only on Election Day.
- If your address changes after applying for a postal vote, it is your responsibility to inform the Postal & Pre-Poll Voting Manager by emailing VotingApplications@courts.je or calling +44 1534 441300.
2. Early Voting (Pre-Poll)
Early voting (pre‑poll) is open to all voters, regardless of which Constituency they live in, and provides a convenient, flexible way to take part in the democratic process. It allows you to vote ahead of Election Day at a time that best fits your schedule, especially if you’re unable to make it to a polling station on the day.
Voter ID
Please bring photo ID (passport/driving licence) with you when attending the pre-poll station as this will be the quickest way to check you in and receive your ballot papers.
If you don’t have a passport or driving licence, please take an alternative form of ID (this could include a work ID, a phone that allows you to login to Yoti/Jersey Me, utility bill dated within the last week months, etc.).
If you arrive without any ID, the Electoral Administrator will seek to verify your identity using their Parish records, but please note this may take a little longer.
Disability – friendly
If you have mobility or additional needs and require assistance, please contact the Judicial Greffe on 01534 441300 in advance to arrange support.
Pre-Poll staff will be based in the pre‑poll room upstairs, which is accessible via a staircase or lift, with signage from the ground floor.
If you wish to vote at St. Paul’s Centre when there are fewer people, the quieter times are generally before 10am and later in the afternoon.
The following accessibility aids will be available on request. Please speak to the Pre-Poll Manager) and they will help you:
- Portable LED lamps (for low levels of lighting in the polling booth)
- Ballot paper magnifier
- Coloured overlays
Assistance dogs are permitted inside the polling station.
If you need to use a screen reader or other assistive technology you’ve brought with you, or you need help completing your ballot paper, please speak to the Pre-Poll Manager.
Parking at St. Paul’s Centre and the surrounding area
There will be up to three spaces available for those that may require parking due to mobility needs, however access to these spaces need to be pre-arranged.
If you require assistance, please contact the Judicial Greffe on 01534 441300 in advance so that they can pre-book a date and time to help support your visit.
There are disabled spaces on New Street and on Dumaresq Street, which are either side of St. Paul’s Centre.
Sand Street is the closest public car park which also has a dedicated level for disabled parking and access to shopmobility.
Pre-poll home visit
If you are eligible to vote in the election but are unable to attend the Pre-Poll Voting Office due to illness, disability, or illiteracy (as set out under Article 42(11) of the Elections (Jersey) Law 2002), you may request a home visit from an Officer of the Judicial Greffe to enable you to cast your vote.
To approve a home visit, the Judicial Greffier must be satisfied that applying for a postal vote would not have resolved your inability to vote; that it would not have been reasonable to expect you to apply for a postal vote; or that you could not reasonably have foreseen that you would be unable to vote in person.
To request a home visit, please download and complete the form below, then return a scanned copy by email to VotingApplications@courts.je, or post it to the Postal & Pre-Poll Voting Manager, Judicial Greffe, Royal Court House, Royal Square, St Helier, JE1 1JG.
3. Voting on Election Day
IMPORTANT: You can only vote at the one polling station assigned to your registered address.
Once you know your constituency (see the Constituency Finder if you’re not sure), you can find your polling station. If there are multiple polling stations in your constituency, please check which one you need to attend by visiting your Parish website.

FAQs for Election Day
Do I need to bring ID and proof of address with me when I go to the polling station?

I asked for a postal vote but might want to vote in person. Can I do this?
Yes, you can take your postal voting pack with you to your polling station on Election Day – including your ballot papers.
Please see one of the officials at the polling station and you will be able to use your postal ballots to vote in person. You will not be issued with a new ballot paper, but must still use the one posted to you.
