Referendum for government changes
Ballot box
People may no longer have to vote for Deputies and Senators
Jersey people are to be asked to vote in a referendum on changes to the island's government.

Politicians hope to move ahead with proposed changes, including replacing Deputies and Senators with a single category of States member.

There are also plans for one general election day.

The Privileges and Procedures Committee, which is responsible for coordinating changes, has arranged a public meeting next week to discuss it.

Committee president Deputy Roy le Herissier said the people of Jersey should have to be asked first what they thought of the proposals.

He is calling a public meeting, which is to be held next Wednesday.
