38 Deputies have been voted in from the list of 119 candidates.

The election was due to take place in June 2020 but was postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Instead, islanders have been casting their vote this October and the count is taking place at Beau Séjour Leisure Centre today.

First time candidates Clint Gardner and Sasha Kazantseva-Miller say it is an exciting time.

It is the first time people have used the island-wide voting system. We asked voters what they thought about the changes.


Why is this year's election so different?

For the first time in Guernsey’s history, voters will cast their ballot on an island-wide basis.

The old system - where you would vote for candidates in your district - was replaced during a referendum in 2018

Over 31,000 people who signed up to this year's Electoral Roll could cast 38 votes - that is the number of Deputies in the States of Guernsey - on a ballot paper that had 119 candidates.

As usual, the Chief Minister and Presidents of government committees will not be decided until the middle of October.
