Voter Info Hub for parish elections

 

Most parishes held their elections at their parish meetings on Wednesday 3 November 2021.  Election results.

But St Peter Port and St Martin voted to ‘defer’ their elections so that everyone on the electoral roll in the parish could vote at a polling station, if they wished.

Their new election date was Wednesday 17 November 2021.  Deferred election results.

Voting and polling stations

St Peter Port polling stations

The Constables’ Office in Lefebvre Street (open from 10am to 8pm).

Reception at Beau Sejour (open from 10am to 8pm).

St Martin’s polling station

St Martin’s Parish Hall (open from 8am to 8pm). Map and access guide.

It is not possible to postal vote in a parish election. If you live in St Peter Port or St Martin, you must go to a designated polling station in your parish on Wednesday 17 November 2021 during the opening hours listed above.

Polling station officials will check that you are on the electoral roll and give you a ballot paper to fill out in a private booth. You’ll put the completed ballot paper in a secure ballot box to be counted when the polling station closes. The results will be announced at the end of the count.

If you are not currently on the electoral roll, it is too late to be included for this election. But fill in the form now to make sure you can vote next year. To check whether you are on the roll, email elections@gov.gg.

Want to find out more about how elections work? You could volunteer for a two hour stint at a St Peter Port polling station.
