82 candidates have been nominated for Guernsey’s general election in June.
15 candidates were nominated today – the final day that forms are being accepted by the Bailiff’s Chambers.
45 were nominated on Monday and 22 on Tuesday meaning 82 will be on the ballot sheets when registered voters have their say this summer.
The official election date is 18 June – but ‘super polling stations’ will be open before that, with some voters opting for a postal ballot.
