Jersey Election 2026 candidates announced

The full list of candidates for the 2026 Jersey election has been published.

The election on 7 June will see 28 deputies, 12 constables and nine senators chosen for the States Assembly.

The Jersey Electoral Authority accepted nominations from 92 candidates to stand in the election.

Deputies are elected in nine voting districts of roughly equal population size. Constables are elected in parishes rather than voting districts and islanders can only vote for candidates standing for constable in the parish that they live in. Islanders can vote for any senatorial candidate as senators are elected island-wide, rather in relation to a district or parish.

In 2022, islanders could only vote for constables and deputies after a States Assembly decision in 2021 to abolish senators - who are elected island-wide.

However, a 2025 States Assembly vote reintroduced senators, meaning islanders can vote for three types of politician.

The Jersey Electoral Authority said that, in the six parishes where there was only one candidate for the role of connétable, voters would have the option to vote for "None of the candidates".

It said this would an opportunity for voters to voice their opinion if they did not feel that the candidate shares their views and values.

If that option received the most votes in any particular connétable election, no-one would be elected and there would be a by-election at a later date.
