The Chief Pleas approved the reforms in October

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

Members have voted to re-examine a poll in which people were asked whether to adapt or end Sark's feudal government.

Sark needs constitutional reforms to comply with European human rights laws.

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.

In a poll with 419 returned ballots, 234 people opted to move to a system of 28 elected deputies, while 184 voted for a mixed system of elected deputies and landowners.

The Chief Pleas approved the move to a fully democratic system in October.

Two members questioned whether a large enough majority of islanders had backed reforms and called for a working party to be set up to review the poll.
