  20. What to look out for this evening: Turnoutpublished at 22:13 British Summer Time 22 June 2022

    Freddie Miller
    BBC Jersey political reporter

    Turnout is traditionally low in Jersey, and we already know fewer people were registered to vote today (60,701) than at the last election in 2018 (62,123).

    It’s estimated that 25% of islanders eligible to vote today didn’t even register to do so – let alone turn up to a polling station.

    For those hoping for a better turnout than usual, it’s not a great start.

    Only once we have all the results will we get a true picture of how many islanders have voted today.

    But as ever, the number of people who turn out to vote – and perhaps most importantly, who they are – will play a significant role in determining the make-up of Jersey’s next States Assembly.

    Reform Jersey, in particular, has been hoping to encourage people who don’t normally take part in Jersey elections to do so, believing many of these islanders will support them.

    Put simply, if the same people as ever turn out to vote, the same type of politicians, it’s thought, are likely to be elected.

    But if new voters have their say, it is believed, we might end up with an Assembly which looks fairly different to those we have seen in the past.

    There are a number of factors which make turnout difficult to call this time around.

    One is the change in the voting system.

    The scrapping of the role of senator – with its island-wide mandate - appears to have gone down badly with pretty much everyone, and many islanders have told me that for the first time ever, they will not be voting, as they feel their democratic rights have been eroded.

    The introduction of nine voting districts of broadly similar population size was aimed at boosting turnout.

    It may prove to have the opposite effect.

    Another factor which makes turnout difficult to predict is the Covid pandemic.

    At various points over the past two years, islanders have been incredibly engaged with Jersey politics – thousands and thousands of people would tune in to government press conferences, while the States vote on re-opening the island’s borders seemed to truly capture the interest of the public.

    Will that interest and engagement result in a better than usual turnout?
