Three candidates have declared their intention to stand for two seats as St Helier’s Procureur du Bien Public. Current Procureur, Mr Clive Barton, is standing for his 5th term in office, while Roads Committee members Mr Peter Pearce and Mr Geraint Jennings have also confirmed their candidacy.
With three such well known and respected parish stalwarts vying for just two available seats, this election is shaping up to being one of the most hotly contested for years. So, in order to provide a brief guide not only to our candidates but the electoral process in general, the parish has created an Election Special Section, which we hope will provide you with everything you need to know as the big day approaches on 15 February.
In this area we focus solely on the things we all want to know most about; the candidates themselves. Sharing equally forthright views, their profiles and manifestos make for interesting reading... but it doesn’t end there.
Our three candidates are looking forward to meeting you all at a specially arranged Hustings Meeting taking place in the Assembly Room at the Town Hall on 30 January 2012. Here, you can question the candidates personally on their ideals, ideas and opinions. This is an unusual and excellent opportunity to get face to face with those taking centre stage during this election.
But remember, whilst the stage may be taken by our candidates for the next few weeks, the stage actually belongs to you, the voters, so click on the candidates below and see for yourself what they’ve got to say and we look forward to welcoming you at the Hustings Meeting on 30 January and then the big day itself, Polling Day, on 15 February.
Don’t forget... your vote counts so ‘X’ it, don’t waste it!
