Electoral Commission - States Assembly reform

About the consultation

The Electoral Commission will consider the following areas:

• classes of States member
• constituencies and mandates
• number of States members
• terms of office

We are keen to hear what you think about the constitution of the States Assembly and are specifically interested in your views on:

• how many States members there should be
• whether we should we have Senators, Deputies and Connétables
• what their mandates should be
• what their constituencies should look like
• how long there should be between elections

The Commission hopes to finish its work by December 2012, when it will present its recommendations to the Privileges and Procedures Committee.
