The BBC is hitting the road to cover Guernsey's general election in a series of events to hear the views of islanders.

The first roadshow begins on Tuesday at 07:00 BST until 18:00 at Pembroke Bay, outside the Beach House Cafe.

Next BBC Guernsey will be visiting the west of the island outside Vistas Cafe on 28 May, before heading south to an undetermined location and finishing in St Peter Port on 17 June, the day before polling day.

There will also be eight Your Voice, Your Vote election events between 27 May and 5 June at Les Cotils where islanders can meet and quiz candidates.

Each candidate will be invited to give their 90-second pitch to the public, which will be available on BBC Sounds to listen again.

There will then be three questions from the audience, where candidates will have 45 seconds to answer.

Candidates and islanders will have the chance to mix and mingle at the meet and greet.

The Q&A session of the event will be broadcast on BBC Radio Guernsey at 09:30 the following day.

Tickets are free through BBC Shows and Tours.
