The reforms would see the Chief Pleas made up of 28 elected deputies

The island needs to reform its constitution to comply with European human rights laws.

The Chief Pleas governing body had agreed to give up the guaranteed right of landowners to seats after the plan was backed by 56% of islanders.

But questions have been raised by two members over whether it was enough of a majority to go forward.

Sufficient margin

Sark's 450 residents were asked if they wanted the island's feudal system of government scrapped or adapted.

Of the 419 returned ballots, 234 opted to move to a system of 28 elected deputies and 184 for a mixed system of elected deputies and landowners.

Reformers said this was a sufficient margin to press ahead with changes and the Chief Pleas approved the changes in October.

Two members have called for a working party to be set up to review the poll and advise the Chief Pleas of its findings.

Owners of the island's 40 tenements (divisions of land) currently have an automatic seat in the Chief Pleas, and islanders chose 12 people's deputies.
