Voters will get a chance to meet the candidates standing in Guernsey's election at eight events organised by the BBC.

The Your Voice, Your Vote sessions will see candidates pitch their policies and face questions from islanders.

Tickets for the events at the Harry Bound Room in Les Cotils are free through BBC Shows and Tours.

The first event is on 27 May at 18:00 BST and will continue every weekday night until 5 June, with doors opening at 17:30.

Between eight and 12 candidates will be invited to be part of the panel for each event.

They will be contacted by the BBC in alphabetical order and offered a date to take part.

A 90-second pitch from the candidates at the start of the events will then be available on BBC Sounds to listen back.

Thirty-eight deputies will be elected at Guernsey's general election on 18 June.
