2007 Jersey constable election

Summary

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.
