Proposals to lower the spending limits are expected to go before the States later this year

  • Published

Guernsey's next general election will be held on Wednesday 18 June 2025.

Deputies agreed the date, along with the spending limits for candidates.

Individuals can spend up to £6,000, while political parties have a limit of £12,000.

However, the States Assembly and Constitution Committee is expected to propose lowering that cap later this year.

States members also agreed to scrap a £500 grant for candidates to use for their election campaigns.

The next election will be the second time voters will elect all 38 deputies on an island-wide basis.
