2007 Jersey constable election

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2007 Constable elections in Jersey were the last before a revised election system was introduced to the island in 2008, resulting in some elected Constables serving terms of less than 15 months.

Constable elections in 2007[edit]

Constable elections are normally for a period of four years. From 2008, all Constables would be elected on a single day, and all terms would be cut short to allow for this.[1] Thus all elections in 2007 were for a period until that date.
