ELECTORS go to the polls on Wednesday, 15 October, to vote for Senators and Constables.

There are a total of 21 Senatorial candidates for the six seats with an Island-side mandate; and elections for Constables in four parishes, St Clement, St Lawrence, St Mary and St Peter.

These elections will see 16 and 17-year-olds voting for the first time, as a result of the States’ decision to drop the minimum voting age from 18 to 16. Some of this age group will be among the total 55,142 Islanders who are registered to vote.
