A TOTAL of 93 candidates have been confirmed for next month’s general election.
Islanders will head to the polls on 22 June to elect a new States Assembly.
Twelve sitting States Members will not be seeking re-election it has been confirmed. Senators Tracey Vallois and Sarah Ferguson, Constables Richard Buchanan, John Le Bailly and John Le Maistre and Deputies Mike Higgins, Jess Perchard, Susie Pinel, Richard Renouf, Graham Truscott, Scott Wickenden and John Young will all be stepping down.
This will be the first election contested under new reforms of the States Assembly which have seen the Islandwide mandate of Senator scrapped in favour of 37 Deputy seats across nine districts alongside the 12 parish Constables.
And four parties will contest the election – the Jersey Alliance, a coalition of the Jersey Liberal Conservatives and the Progress Party and Reform Jersey – will all be fielding candidates.
A full list of all candidates will be published in Thursday’s JEP
