    There’s been a bit of confusion in St Helier Central.

    It seems it wasn’t clear on the Vote.je website where voters needed to go to put a cross in the box.

    There were two polling stations, at Rouge Bouillon School and at Springfield stadium, and voters had to go to one or other. Some therefore turned up at the wrong place.

    Some of those affected were frustrated at having to make another stop to cast their vote, others simply said they would not bother.

  8. How will candidates in parties fare?published at 21:38 British Summer Time 22 June 2022

    Freddie Miller
    BBC Jersey political reporter

    Forty percent of the candidates (37/92) seeking election were members of Jersey’s four political parties.

    But will this have helped or hindered their chances?

    Some islanders have said they would not vote for party members, even if they would otherwise agree with the candidates’ views.

    Why?

    Well, some voters are concerned party members will lose their own voices if they have to toe the party line.

    Others feel party politics will lead to division rather than compromise - they believe the traditional system of independent politicians best suits the island.

    And some people have told me they like a certain candidate, but couldn’t possibly vote for them because they’re in the same party as another candidate they would not vote for.

    But not everyone feels this way.

    Some islanders would have voted solely for party members, as they believe party politics will mean more transparency, more accountability and ultimately, more action.

    While independents will always have to seek a consensus, they argue, if a party has enough elected members, it can say what it’s going to do – then do it.

    Election banners

    The parties:

    Jersey Alliance: 14 candidates

    Jersey Liberal Conservatives: Five candidates (in coalition with the Progress Party)

    Progress Party: Four candidates (in coalition with the Jersey Liberal Conservatives)

    Reform Jersey: 14 candidates

    Meanwhile, many islanders are likely to have voted for a combination of party members and independents.

    So where is all this likely to leave us?

    The answer – until the results are confirmed – is that we do not know.

    But if any party member fails to get in, the question to ask is: “Is it because of their party links?”

    The results will eventually dictate whether each of the parties stay together or collapse entirely.

    And if the parties do well, perhaps more than 40% of candidates at the next election will be party member.

    More than 90 people registered to vote in Jersey after the deadline had passed, the Comité des Connétables has announced.

    Jersey parishes received 96 applications from people after the deadline, which was midday on Wednesday 15 June 2022.

    The parishes electoral administrators said as the deadline was missed those people could not be added to Electoral Register for this election, but once their information has been checked they will be added to the register for future elections.

    A poster asking islanders to vote for "none of the above" was put above a candidates poster in St Brelade

    For the first time ever, residents of eight Jersey parishes have been able to vote for a real person or "none of the above".

    The option was only been available to voters in the Constable elections in St Saviour, St Clement, St Martin, Trinity, St John, St Ouen, St Peter and St Brelade.

    That is because in each of those elections, there was one position available and only one candidate.

    The aim was to ensure nobody was elected unopposed to the States Assembly.

    If any of the constable candidates in these parishes get fewer votes than the "None of the above" option, expect it to be a major story.

    And if any of the constable candidates only narrowly defeat nobody, they’re likely to feel a bit wounded - and face at least a bit of political pressure.

    A win for a "none of the above" will trigger a by-election in the relevant parish – meaning we will have to wait at least a few more weeks before the names of all 49 new States Members are confirmed.
