On 11 September 2025, the States Assembly adopted the Draft Elections (Senators) (Jersey) Amendment Law 202-.
What follows this?
The draft law needs to be approved by the Privy Council and still requires an ‘Appointed Day Act’ to set the date for the law to come into effect. Vote.je will provide an update on this in due course.
After the next election to the States Assembly on Sunday 7 June 2026, the Assembly will be made up of:
- 12 Parish Constables
- 28 Deputies
- 9 Senators
In the meantime, any Islanders thinking of standing for election in 2026 now have the certainty they need to decide whether or not they wish to aim for the Island-wide role of Senator, or if the role of Deputy or Constable is their preferred choice.
