Election 2025: How to vote
To be eligible to vote, you must be registered on the Electoral Roll, which opened in December 2024 and has now closed.
Island-wide system
Each voter can cast up to 38 votes from the full list of 82 candidates, regardless of where you or your chosen candidates live.
This electoral system was introduced as a result of the 2018 referendum on Guernsey’s voting system.
Postal vote
Islanders could have chosen to vote via post during registration or can choose to now on the election2025.gg website (include link)
This is available to anyone.
Vote packs will be posted in early June.
Postal votes must be in by 8pm on 18 June 2025.
If you forget to put your papers in the post on time, there are a couple of contingency plans: The vote pack can be put in the Sir Charles Frossard House postbox or taken to any polling station (with valid ID). Both must be returned before 8pm on 18 June 2025.
Voting in person
You can vote in person at any of the polling stations across the island, regardless of which parish you live in.
All votes must be cast by 8pm on 18 June 2025.
Beau Sejour (Dave Ferguson Hall), Les Maingys Activity Centre and the Styx Community Centre will open for advance polling on 15 and 17 June.
Polling Day is 18 June 2025; these are the polling stations open from 8am to 8pm that day:
- Beau Sejour (Dave Ferguson Hall)
- Les Maingys Activity Centre
- Styx Community Centre
- Castel Douzaine Room
- St Martins Parish Hall
- St Peter Port Constables Office
- St Andrews Douzaine Room
- St Sampsons Community Hall
Not an 'X'
You will need to fill in a small oval on the ballot paper next to the name of your chosen candidate(s), rather than a traditional 'x'.
This is because the ballot paper will be read by electronic counting machines.
You do not have to use all 38 votes. You can vote for as many or as few candidates as you wish, but any more than 38 ovals marked will result in your paper being spoiled, and none of your votes will be counted.
