As volunteers wrapped up a long night of counting ballots, the new States Assembly’s make-up became clear.

Express crunched some of the numbers…

The youngest States Member…

will be Gabriel Raimondo, Deputy-elect for St Brelade, who turned 18 shortly ten days the election, and deferred his A-Levels for a year so he could stand.

The oldest…

…to our knowledge is St Mary Constable David Johnson, who is 80.

Girl power!

22 women have been elected out of 49 seats announced – that’s 45% of the Assembly.

That’s two percentage points higher than in 2022, with the most female representation in Grouville and St Martin, where both Deputies and the Constable of St Martin are women. Inna Gardiner was elected as the first female Constable of St Helier.

Counting up the votes…

The poll-topper in the senatorial race was Senator-elect Helen Miles – although it was Senator-elector Ian Gorst who won in the most individual parishes, coming first in eight of them.

The smallest margins… were in St Helier South, where Carla Jardim missed out on a Deputy seat by a mere 27 votes.

Other close calls were Deputy Raluca Kovacs missed out on re-election in St Saviour by 120 votes, and Lindsay Ash missed out on a St Clement seat by 114 votes.

The longest-standing States Member…

…is Carolyn Labey, who was first elected in 2002 – six years before her new colleague Gabriel Raimondo was born.

Purple rain?

There are six Members-elect who have endorsed the priorities of Value Jersey.

They are Serena Kersten Guthrie (Senator), Value Jersey’s former communications director Samantha Gleave (Deputy, St Helier South), Value Jersey founder Phil Romeril (Deputy, St Lawrence, St John and Trinity), Gerald Voisin (Deputy, St Helier North), Robert Parker (Deputy, St Saviour), and Gabriel Raimondo (Deputy, St Brelade).

Victoria Li (Deputy, St Helier North) spoke at the movement’s launch event and said that she was standing as an independent and did not endorse the group.

…and Reform pain

Seven Reform Jersey candidates have made it in – with four of them announced in the very last race, St Helier Central.

How much opposition was there to unopposed Constables?

The biggest vote for None Of The Above – the alternative given when seats are uncontested – was in St Ouen, where 36.9% of the votes (409 out of 1107) went to NOTA.

How many newcomers were there?

12 elected Members are completely new to the States Assembly: Lee Carpenter, Victoria Li, Tina Palmer, Samantha Gleave, Arlene Maltman, Chris Rebindaine, Phil Romeril, Serena Kersten Guthrie, Dave Curtis, Chris Leck, Robert Parker, and Gabriel Raimondo.
