Jersey's States are back in the Chamber debating whether to keep the role of Senator in the States Assembly once more.In December they approved in-principle reforms which would see the island-wide role of Senators axed, and replaced instead by 37 district representatives from nine electoral districts and 12 Constables.

The States sitting was meant to be the first step towards making that a reality, with the Privileges and Procedures Committee proposing amendments to the Assembly's Constitution in the first instance.They are also proposing to move the date of the next election back by a month to June 2022, to enable an uninterrupted five week run between nomination night and election day, without the impact of Easter, the May Bank Holiday and Liberation Day getting in the way.Senators Gorst and Farnham have both brought amendments to the proposition seeking to retain the Senators.
