Jersey politicians have rejected calls for the role of senator to be brought back at the next election.

The proposal was from Deputy Moz Scott, with 30 States members voting against and 14 supporting it.

It is the second time in 2023 Jersey's States Assembly voted not to bring back the role.

The position was scrapped at the end of the last political term under electoral reforms aimed at making the island's elections fairer and simpler.
