A public meeting was held for individuals or groups interested in applying to be in a ‘campaign group’ for one of the options last week, with the document put together following that.

The document will continue to be updated online at gov.gg/referendum as any further questions are asked so that everybody has access to the same information and guidance.

Deputy Peter Roffey, President of the States’ Assembly & Constitution Committee said: “The Committee stated at the public meeting that it would produce a rolling FAQ document to assist not just those considering applying to be as a campaign group but anyone interested in following the referendum process.

“Members of the public are reminded that they can e-mail the Lead Referendum Officer referendum@gov.gg if they want to express an interest in forming or joining a campaign group to represent an option. This can be published at gov.gg/referendum to encourage and enable individuals and groups to come together.”
