Jersey Elections Explained

Did you know that you can vote in Jersey’s next election if you’re aged 16 or over and have lived in the Island for one year leading up to Sunday 7 June 2026?

If you’re interested in learning more about Jersey’s political system and how elections work, come along to any of our FREE interactive sessions running from Wednesday 18 February until Thursday 4 June.

  • We will take you into the States Chamber, where Jersey’s elected parliament meets to debate and create the Island’s laws.
  • You’ll learn how the decisions that affect our daily lives are made by the States Assembly, and how our elections work, so that you’ll be informed and ready to vote on election day.
  • The session is politically neutral, and you’ll have plenty of opportunity to ask questions.

Sessions open to Islanders aged 16 and over, or if you are turning aged 16 by 7 June 2026 and are eligible to vote.

Meeting point is outside the States Assembly building in the Royal Square.
