Getting Election Ready: States Greffe Outreach Initiatives

February 09, 2026

With just four months remaining until Jersey’s general election on Sunday, 7 June 2026, the States Greffe has launched a major education initiative to ensure every Islander is ready to head to the polls.

The Education and Outreach Team is opening the doors of the States Chamber to the public and offering bespoke presentations to local businesses, providing a behind-the-scenes look at how the Island’s laws are made and how the voting process works.

Behind-the-Scenes: Free Public Tours

Islanders are invited to join a series of free, one-hour interactive sessions held inside the States Chamber. These tours are designed to strip away the mystery of the States Assembly and explain the "what, why, where, and who" of the upcoming election.

All sessions are fact-based and strictly politically neutral. Whether you are a first-time voter or simply want to understand the system better, these tours offer a unique opportunity to ask questions in the very room where Jersey’s parliament debates.

Upcoming Tour Dates (Bookable via Eventbrite):

  • Wednesday, 18 February: 12pm – 1pm

  • Saturday, 7 March: 10am – 11am

  • Saturday, 11 April: 10am – 11am

  • Thursday, 30 April: 12pm – 1pm

  • Saturday, 16 May: 10am – 11am

  • Thursday, 21 May: 5:30pm – 6:30pm

  • Wednesday, 27 May: 12pm – 1pm

  • Thursday, 4 June: 12pm – 1pm

Opportunities for Businesses and Community Groups

For organizations looking to empower their staff or members, the States Greffe is offering bespoke "Vote Presentations." These 30–45 minute in-person sessions can be delivered directly at your place of work or community hub.

The presentations cover the essential logistics of the 2026 election and provide an overview of the States Assembly's role in daily life. Sessions can be adapted to suit the specific needs of your group.

To vote on 7 June, you must be:

  • Aged 16 or over.

  • A resident of Jersey for at least one year leading up to election day.
