  1. Just two deputies elections still to declarepublished at 05:41 BST

    Officials decided to put off counting for deputies' election in St Helier Central and St Helier North due to the high number of ballots.

    The capital has previously been a bedrock for Reform Jersey and it will be hoping it proves the same again as the party currently only has three seats in the new assembly - compared to the 10 it had going in to the election.

    They could potentially pick up five more seats. If that is the case it may still not make up for the loss of the party's leader in the senatorial race and Rob Ward, who had been the minister for education and lifelong learning.

    In that race for an island-wide mandate serving members led the way with five members of government elected alongside another States member, a former minister and two first-time candidates.

    In the constables' elections the none of the above option faced by otherwise unopposed candidates was not supported enough to see anyone not be elected - it was not even close - but nonetheless the figures will give some candidates pause for thought.

    Jonathan Renouf topped the deputy polls in St Brelade.

    He said: "I am very proud, very pleased and very grateful to the electors of St Brelade for putting their faith in me.

    "There was some argy bargy but I did try and stay above that as much as possible.

    "This election has shown that there is a lot of things going on, I don't think there is a clear conclusion that I would draw about party politics or anything to be honest - there is a bit of something for everyone."

    He added: "If you look at the top of the senatorial poll, there is a very strong independent theme there.

    "What is impressive is that you can see how the top senatorial candidates could all work together."

    Dave Curtis, who has been elected as constable for St Saviour said he is ready to "crack on".

    Speaking on the election campaign he said it was a hard campaign but he enjoyed it.

    He said: "You think you've knocked on as many doors as you can, you think you've done as much social media as you can, and just hope that you've done your best."

    Curtis took the seat from Kevin Lewis who has served St Saviour for 21 years.

    Curtis said: "There's an element of sadness in that obviously, but I'm here for me... and it's maybe time for change, so let's get to work and let's crack on with those issues.

    "It was really difficult to call and it was a pleasure to work with both candidates, really... and I hope both of them can still do something for the parish and still be involved."

    He added: "Let's crack on, let's get down to work and let's get things going."

    As the birds outside the polling station sing to signal the start of a new day, the counting has finally come to a close in St Brelade.

    It was a marathon effort for a dedicated team of volunteers, who were determined to continue into the early hours to avoid having to finish the count in the mid-morning - something volunteers in St Helier were asked to do due to the volume of ballots.

    St Brelade’s deputy race saw a battle between the ideologies of Reform Jersey and Value Jersey, and the headline is 18-year-old Gabriel Raimondo becomes the island’s youngest ever politician.

    Alongside him was Reform Jersey’s Monty Tadier, and independent candidate Jonathan Renouf, who topped the poll and said the trio would find a way to work together for the constituency despite their differing politics.

    There was also a warm embrace between Renouf and his former fellow St Brelade Deputy Helen Miles, who topped the senator poll with a helping hand from her home parish.

    Phil Romeril, who was elected as Deputy of St John, St Lawrence and Trinity says it took a lot of work but had been "absolutely fantastic".

    "I am delighted that that the parishioners of the three parishes have seen fit to trust me with this role," he said.

    He added: "It obviously is very rewarding tonight... it's been very enjoyable actually walking around.

    "It's a big area, this district, and so meeting lots and lots of people from different parts of the island, talking to them about what they are looking for, but what their concerns are as well so it's been very interesting."

  7. Student ‘wants to encourage everyone to vote’published at 03:58 BST

    That’s a wrap for Grouville! We’ve had results in for senators, deputies and constable.

    While we’ve all been eagerly awaiting the declarations, it’s easy to forget the army of volunteers working behind the scenes to count ballots and bring us those all-important numbers.

    One of them was Adam Blackburn, who flew back from university to help with tonight’s count. The politics student described volunteering as his “civic duty” – and as an opportunity for him to see democracy in action beyond the lecture theatre.

    He said the atmosphere in the counting hall has been “good” throughout the evening, but said there was a sense of relief when the final ballot had been tallied.

    For him, one of the biggest messages from election day is the importance of young people having their say.

    "Young people are often leaving the island. I know a lot of people going to university are staying there, and I want as many young people to move back to the island as possible really," Blackburn said.

    "I know this is what I'll hopefully be doing as long as I can afford it."

    He spent the evening counting alongside his mum – a partnership he reckons made them a dream team: "We knew how to work for each other, so we did it very efficiently, it felt really nice."

    That’s a wrap on St Clement - which managed to get all its results in before 02:00.

    Despite a heavily contested run for deputy, the three sitting candidates were all re-elected from the previous term: Deputies Alex Curtis, Barbara Ward and Karen Wilson. The team remains unchanged, bar the retirement of Sir Philip Bailhache.

    The seat he previously occupied was among those deputy seats replaced by senator positions in the move to reintroduce the island-wide roles.

    It was bad news for Lindsay Ash, who didn’t manage to get back in the States, and for first-time campaigners Noah Jervis, Mick Robbins and Joanne Vandermerwe-Mahon.

    Speaking on working with the same team, Wilson says: "One of the really good things about the three of us being re-elected together is I think we actually represent and reflect the connection in this community."As for constable, no change there either - Marcus Troy retains his seat. His first priority, he says, is to sell St Christopher’s school for educational purposes.
