The 2026 Jersey general election will be held on 7 June 2026 to elect the 49 members of the States Assembly.[1] The election will be the first in recent history to occur on Sunday rather than a Wednesday. The 2026 election will also see the reintroduction of 9 island-wide senators to the Assembly, after the role was abolished for the 2022 general election. The number of deputies in the assembly will be decreased by 9 by removing one seat from each of the nine deputy constituencies.[2]
In April 2025, Better Way leader Kristina Moore lodged a proposition for the chief minister to be directly elected by an island-wide vote, rather than being elected by states members after the election.[3]
