List of key 2026 and 2027 election dates published

On 20 April 2026, the electoral candidate nomination period begins

A list of key election dates for 2026 and half of 2027 in Jersey has been published by the Privileges and Procedures Committee (PPC).

Officials said it was hoped releasing the list now would help prospective candidates with forward planning further into the future.

On 20 April 2026, the electoral candidate nomination period begins, with it closing just two days later at 17:00 BST.

Then, on 7 June, is the public election of all 49 States members, with the first meeting of the newly-elected States Assembly and the election of a chief minister designate due on 19 June.

Vote.je campaign manager Emily Thomas said: "Throughout the Plan To Stand campaign, Vote.je has provided prospective candidates support and encouragement to mobilise early and prepare for a fair and competitive election in 2026.

"Having advance notice of the key dates associated with the 2026 election is a huge help for people who are already making plans for their election campaign."
