Eighty-two candidates stood for 45 seats in parliament

The deputies will come into their posts as the first States members to run an entirely new system government.

The number of States members has been cut from 57 to 45, and the previous 43 committees have been absorbed into 10 departments and three main committees.

A Chief Minister will be elected by States members on 1 May who will represent the States outside Guernsey.

Meanwhile, the presidents of committees are being replaced by ministers, each of whom will sit on the Policy Council, a version of the UK Cabinet.

Guernsey's civil service is being restructured to reflect these changes. It is hoped the new system will improve efficiency and accountability.

A record number of people chose to vote by post.
