Candidates Face Constituents' Questions

Thursday, 26 May 2022 11:00

Candidates have been answering questions from islanders

Islanders hoping to serve as Jersey's next States Members are being quizzed in a series of Candidate Question Time events.

They are being hosted by broadcaster Gwyn Garfield-Bennett, with constituents invited to put their questions to the election hopefuls via Zoom.

That's in addition to the 23 traditional in-person hustings taking place across the island.

Around 100 people watched the first event featuring candidates standing to be the new Deputies of St Clement.
