Guernsey Election 2025 Counts Underway with 82 Candidates for 38 Seats

Guernsey held its 2025 election with over 27,000 registered voters choosing from 82 candidates competing for 38 seats in the States of Guernsey. This election continued the island-wide voting system allowing residents to vote for candidates regardless of their location, though some voters found the process challenging due to the high number of candidates. Notably, there was an increase in female candidates, rising to about a third compared to just under a quarter in 2020. Polling stations were open from 8am to 8pm on June 18, with vote counting starting the following morning and results expected later that evening. The election saw a shift in leadership as Guernsey's current Chief Minister, Deputy, and several Committee Presidents did not seek reelection, ensuring new faces in government. Live coverage and detailed election analysis were provided by local media through podcasts, live blogs, and special broadcasts.
