Last chance to check the data held by Government before the electoral register closes

Islanders are urged to check the data held by Government before the main electoral register closes at noon on Friday. This is to ensure that they are able to vote for the election candidates in their current constituency of residence.

The deadline to check and make changes is 12 noon on Friday 17 April 2026.

Checking your details is particularly important if you have recently moved house or have returned to Jersey after more than 3 months away and not notified any Government Department.

Who is eligible for Automatic Voter Registration?

The system of Automatic Voter Registration was introduced in March 2026. It adds eligible Islanders to the electoral register using existing Government of Jersey data, without people having to manually opt in.

People should be automatically registered if, on Election Day (Sunday 7 June 2026), they:

• are aged 16 or over, and
• have lived in Jersey for 12 months or for 6 months on Election Day, plus periods of time that total five years.

How to check voter registration status

Anyone who has recently moved house or returned to Jersey after a prolonged period of absence is encouraged to check their record is up to date by calling Social Security on 01534 444444.

Anyone who misses the deadline of 12 noon on Friday 17 April to update their details, should be aware that although they may be registered to vote in the 2026 Elections, they will only be able to vote for the candidates standing in the constituency where they used to live and at the designated polling station for that old address.

Greffier of the States Lisa Hart said: ‘It’s essential that people ensure their data held by Government is correct and up to date. Checking before the deadline means that Islanders will know the constituency in which they are registered to vote and have the convenience of choosing their preferred way to vote, whether that is by applying to be a postal voter, an early voter at pre-poll, or by voting in person at their local polling station on Election Day for the Senators, Deputies and Connétables who will be our States Members for the next 4 years.’
