General elections were held in Guernsey on 27 April 2016 in order to elect the 38 members of the States to serve until 2020.[1]

Electoral system

Following the 2012 general elections, a decision was take to reduce the number of seats from 45 to 38.[2] This resulted in changes to the number of seats in each electoral district, although the districts themselves remained unchanged.[3]

A new electoral roll was drawn up, with 22,408 people registered to vote by 4 November 2015.[4] The total passed 25,000 by 7 January 2016 and rose to 27,000 on 15 February, before reaching 30,320 when registration closed,[5] higher than the 29,745 who registered for the 2012 elections.

Campaign

Prospective candidates started to register by filing their nominations at the Bailiff's Chambers on 21 March and had until 31 March 2016 to file nomination forms. There are no political parties with all representatives standing as non-partisans. Candidates could apply for a grant of up to £600 for the production and distribution of manifestos.

Hustings meetings took place at a number of locations on various dates in April.
