We could know exactly who votes for who when States committees and other official positions are elected in the future.
Deputies Lester Queripel and Chris Blin are suggesting those elections should not be done through secret ballots any more.
Traditionally they always have been, meaning no one knows who has voted for anyone else.
This includes States committee president and member positions, along with non-States member roles on committees, and bodies such as the Police Complaints Commission and school boards which are also elected by the States of Deliberation.
Deputies Queripel and Blin have lodged the amendment against the Review of the Rules of Procedure which the States are in the middle of debating, and will pick up at tomorrow’s meeting.
They say removing the secret ballots from the election process would align that with the way members are removed from an elected position, which is currently carried out though a recorded vote.
They’ve suggested the States electronic voting system is used instead of the secret ballots going forward.
However, by way of contrast, Deputies Queripel and Blin are also suggesting that votes of no confidence in States members shall be carried out using a secret ballot.
That is currently done using a recorded vote – but in a separate amendment to the Review of the Rules of Procedure, Deputies Queripel and Blin have proposed they are kept anonymous in the future.
The States debate on the Review of the Rules of Procedure will continue from 09:30 on Wednesday 5 February.
