Electoral Registration Deadline 25th April, By-Election 29th April

Thursday 23 April 2026

Islanders who did not vote in last year's General Election and haven't yet registered to vote in next week's by-election, have until midnight on Saturday (25th April) to do so.

Registering on the electoral roll is easy and can be done online at Electoral Roll Submission. Islanders who registered on the electoral roll in the lead up to the 2025 election don't need to take any further action if they want to vote in the by-election on Wednesday 29 th April 2026.

11 candidates are standing, and all their manifestos are now available to read online at Candidates for Deputy - By-Election 2026 Guernsey.

Beau Sejour will be the main polling station for the by-election, and there will be three additional polling stations at St Martin's Parish Hall, Castel Douzaine Room and Vale Douzaine Room. More information about the by-election can be found at byelection2026.gg.

Colette Falla, Registrar General of Electors, said:

"With only a few days left to sign up to the electoral roll, I'm encouraging all islanders who didn't vote in the 2025 election and are eligible to register, to do so before Saturday's deadline if they want to vote in the upcoming by-election. Whether you chose not to sign up last year, you were under 16 at the time or otherwise ineligible, this is an opportunity now to have your say in who is elected to the States Assembly."
