Constable Mark Labey who is standing unopposed for another term, said he was feeling “humbled” as volunteers worked through the ballots in the room next door.

He also praised the community effort that goes into running election day in the parish.

“One thing that’s still the same here in Grouville is we’ve got a wonderful community full of volunteers who are willing to help on days like today,” he said.

“The honorary police, all the people who’ve helped so hard for hours and hours here at the parish hall, and our wonderful team of staff here too. Humbled, I think, is the word.”

When I asked what had stood out to him during polling day, he didn’t hesitate.

“The younger generation,” he replied.

Labey said he believed more than 100 young people may have voted in Grouville for the first time.

“That has been my overriding and overwhelming, and inspiring, thought about this election,” he said.

Former Jersey Evening Post editor James Filleul has been providing his reaction ahead of results coming in tonight.

He said the real election comes in a few weeks’ time, when chief minister is decided.

Filleul said: "So who are the potential candidates? It depends what happens tonight.

"People like Mark Boleat, Tom Binet, potentially Helen Miles, Elaine Miller, Lyndon Farnham. Ian Gorst has already ruled himself out at the hustings.

"So you’ve got a group of five there. They were cagey when asked who they would support at the hustings.

"[But] they’re already thinking about it. They’re already positioning themselves for that election because they hope they’re going to get in tonight.

"So there’s a huge subtext gong on behind all of this.”

St Mary has joined Trinity in returning its senatorial votes. Overall figures in brackets

Reporting from St Clement

It’s certainly been a busy one here - with queues out the door for most of the day - a footfall that volunteers here described as “off the charts”. And it’s no wonder - with eight candidates going for four roles to represent the parish.

There are seven candidates going for three Deputy seats - that’s down from four seats in the last political term. Of those four, Sir Philip Bailhache is retiring after a States Assembly career spanning five decades. The other three - Deputy Alex Curtis, Deputy Barbara Ward, and Deputy Karen Wilson are all seeking re-election.

Standing alongside them is Lindsay Ash, who is hoping to make a return to the States having previously served as deputy of St Clement. And there are some fresh faces this year as well - Noah Jervis, Mick Robbins and Joanne Vandermerwe-Mahon. Jervis and Robbins are representing Reform.

It’s a different story in the run for constable with only one person in the running - the current sitting Constable of St Clement Marcus Troy is seeking re-election unopposed.

St Clement is the smallest parish in Jersey by land area, but it’s quite population dense.

There’s been particular growth in the last decade with the development of new large housing estates, including social housing and homes for first time buyers.

The parish is also home to two primary schools and one secondary school, and boasts a wide range of outdoor sports facilities.

So St Clement may be small, but it has lots to offer - and tonight we’ll be finding out who will be taking care of it for the next four years.

Reporting from St Brelade

About 35 volunteers are wading through what seems like an endless stream of ballot papers in St Brelade.

Counting didn’t start here until about 21:15, and I’m told more than a hour later we’re only a third through the senator count, so it looks like we’ll be here well past midnight.

As one volunteer tells me as he takes a coffee and chocolate biscuit break: “It’s a slow process” that is going ”very slowly”.

Trinity is the first parish to return its votes for senator. Early days with 11 more to return, but the results so far are:

• Ian Gorst - 815
• Elaine Millar - 753
• Lyndon Farnham - 731
• Helen Miles - 708
• Tom Binet - 694
• Alan Maclean - 655
• Mark Boleat - 598
• Mary Le Hegarat - 578
• Serena Kersten Guthrie - 569
• Steve Luce - 452
• Bernard Place - 309
• Alan Le Pavoux - 290
• Sam Mézec (Reform Jersey) - 258
• Martin Aliga - 199
• Alan Breckon - 181
• Guy de Faye - 106
• Karl Busch - 59

Kate Jennings
Reporting from St Martin

In St Martin the indications are an announcement of Senators results will come at about 23:00.

The counters are in good spirits and being fuelled by cake, sandwiches and tea of all varieties including earl grey and matcha green tea.

I am told they have only had one spoilt paper so far. One of the counters told me earlier he volunteered here this morning from 07:30, enjoyed lunch with all the volunteers at the Royal St Martin pub, and then back here for the count this evening after a nap.

Caitlin Klein
Reporting from Grouville

In the foyer of Grouville Parish Hall I can hear the quiet chatter of 12 volunteers counting each ballot paper in the room next door. They’re currently working their way through the senator count.

Before voting closed, there was still a steady trickle of people coming through the doors, including plenty of families. One man even made it in just in time, with polling station staff closing the doors behind him.

It’s likely to be a long night here. There are cereal bars, cups of tea and plenty of coffee on hand to keep everyone going as the count continues.

I’m being told we’ll hear the senator result first, followed by the constable declaration. Current Constable Mark Labey is seeking re-election and is unopposed.

After that, attention will turn to the deputy contest. Three candidates are standing for two seats - Rose Binet, Carolyn Labey and Scott Wickenden - all of whom have served in the States before.

Outside, it’s a very different atmosphere. The roads have gone quiet, I can see the lights of Gorey village glowing in the distance and the castle standing out on the horizon.

From in here, everything feels pretty calm. But I imagine the candidates waiting for results wouldn’t say the same.

In six parishes, candidates running for constable are running unopposed but that is no guarantee of election.

Where there was only one candidate for the role, voters were given the option to vote for "None of the candidates".

If that option received the most votes, no-one would be elected for that parish and there will be a by-election at a later date.

Elections in Jersey have traditionally been held on Wednesdays.

That has changed for the 2026 election.

Sunday voting has been introduced with the hope it will improve turnout among students, families and working people and based on early reports it seems to have done so.

Jersey has the lowest voter turnout among members of the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD).

In the 2022 election, turnout was 41.7%.

Some islanders have told the BBC a perceived ‘lack of action’ has put people off voting.

Reporting from St Lawrence

Counting is under way here in St Lawrence with a selection of china teapots and foil covered food for those helping bring the result declaration in.

It could be a longer night than expected too with a steady stream of voters flowing through the doors through the day today.

A new constable will be elected for the first time since 2008 with Deidre Mezbourian not standing after nearly two decades in post. In her place it will either be John Le Fondre, the former chief minister returning to the fold, or Tina Palmer entering the political arena for the first time.

The number of people who went to vote ahead of Jersey's election day increased by 85% in comparison to the 2022 election.

A pre-polling station in St Helier was open from Tuesday 26 May through until Monday 1 June.

The number of islanders who used the opportunity to vote at pre-poll was 2,795, up from 1,508 in 2022, vote.je said.

It said postal voting applications reduced to 1,729, from 2,709 in 2022, but the overall number of advance voters increased by 7% compared to 2022.

Rebecca Morley-Kirk, Judicial Greffier, said: “We are really encouraged to see this increase in the number of islanders voting ahead of election day and hope the trend continues when it comes to overall turnout."

Islanders eligible to vote did not have to manually register this year.

In the 2022 election a quarter of islanders eligible to vote did not register.

Vote.je introduced its new automatic voting registration (AVR) in March 2026 to automatically enlist eligible islanders to the electoral register.

The new system used existing Government of Jersey data to register islanders aged over 16 who are eligible to vote with a hope of helping to boost turnout.

Our reporters say boxes are being opened across the island as the counts have got under way.

In St Martin, Kate Jennings says: "The ballot boxes are being opened now ready for counting to start. They are hoping to be done and dusted by 23:00 but since the turnout has been better than previous years that may be optimistic."

In St Peter, Jenny Mullin says: "There’s a buzz in St Peter and laughter as the counters do their thing. One said to me that usually when it’s done on a weekday she has to leave early. This year, it being on a Sunday means that it’s easier for counters to volunteer their time, she said."

At the St Helier South count, Tim Pryor said counting started just after 20:30: "We’re expecting a late night here, with the deputy count likely to go on into the early hours."

He added: "The pigeon which had somehow got into the polling room seems to have found its way out. No indication of which way it might have voted!"

Reporting from St Peter

In St Peter, the Jurat Michael Entwistle said just ahead of the polls closing that he thought it might be a bigger voter turnout this year. He said he’d seen a steady stream of people all day.

The longest wait for voters was 15 minutes only though, he said, when the queue went all the way from upstairs to downstairs and to the door of the Parish Hall.

Some candidates - Helen Evans and David Benn running for deputy, and Richard Vibert running uncontested for constable - were sat outside just before voting closed, all chatting and smiling with voters as they passed.

The last voter came five minutes late but they let him in anyway. He told us he’d just got off the ferry after being in France and rushed to the Parish Hall.

Rhys Thomas
Reporting from St Brelade

Here in St Brelade, a fairly large constituency where 8,500 people are registered to vote. We don’t have an estimate of turnout just yet but parish officials tell me there’s been more people coming here to vote than in previous elections.

As the last people ran into the polling station to have their say, there was a very small queue, but I'm told earlier people snaked out of the building and into the car park as they waited in line.

Four candidates are standing for three deputy seats here, including one who’s aligned with Value Jersey and two Reform Jersey candidates.

There’s a two-way battle for constable, and outgoing St Brelade deputy and senatorial hopeful Helen Miles is also basing herself here tonight.

In the polling station about 35 volunteers are preparing to count the votes, armed with teas, waters and sweets. I’m told to expect the result in the senator votes here at 22:00 at the earliest.

A number of familiar faces have not sought a return to the States Assembly this time around.

Kristina Moore, is stepping away from politics after nearly 15 years in the assembly. In 2022, she became the island’s first female chief minister before a vote of no confidence saw her return to the back benches.

The longest-serving of Jersey's most recent set of politicians, Simon Crowcroft, who entered the assembly in 1996 is stepping back after spending the last two decades as the constable of St Helier.

Sir Philip Bailhache is leaving the States Assembly after a career spanning five decades.

Philip Ozouf departs the political scene after being sentenced to 120 hours of community service for breaking immigration laws. He was first elected back in 1999.

One of the founding members of political party Reform Jersey, Geoff Southern, is stepping down after nearly 24 years in politics.

Ammar Ebrahim
Jersey Political Reporter

Reform Jersey is the island’s most established and largest political party, its members have held three government positions and went into this election campaign with confidence.

However, Reform candidates have said a divisive campaign has been run against them which they largely blame on Value Jersey.

Value Jersey a new political movement, which insists it is not a party, has been in the spotlight too, and earlier this week the president of the chamber of commerce resigned after it emerged that he made a donation to the movement.

Reform Jersey candidates have told me they are a little on edge, while Value Jersey endorsed candidates say they are unsure what to expect.
