To gather evidence on the first island-wide vote, reflect public opinion and propose improvements for the 2025 election.
Description
The 2020 island-wide voting election was a significant change from previous systems which were based largely around parish or district representation. In September 2022, the Scrutiny Management Committee (SMC) resolved to review the election. It appointed a Review Panel to undertake a Review of Island-Wide Voting and to present a Report to the SMC for publication.
It was made clear at the outset that it was not the intention of the Review Panel to recommend any change to the system of election for 2025. The main objective was to gather evidence reflecting public opinion and to propose improvements for the 2025 general election.
