Deputies Peter Ferbrache, Carl Meerveld and Joe Mooney are behind the move, which they say is not connected to the new charter that a number of politicians have signed up to.
The new association, which has not yet been named, will not be a political party, they have said.
However, the association will aim to field a number of candidates at the next general election scheduled for June 2020.
Candidates will support a common manifesto detailing the policy objectives agreed by the association’s membership.
'We have been discussing this for a number of months and, while it is in no way connected with the charter introduced by like-minded Deputies last week, it builds on that principle and broadens it to include community participation in developing and supporting policy objectives to achieve the change that Guernsey needs,' said Deputy Meerveld.
Deputy Ferbrache added: 'Our key objective will be to fundamentally improve the way in which the States of Guernsey functions, with our initial objective being to campaign for the adoption of island-wide voting at the public referendum scheduled to be held on October 10th this year.'
The association, they said, would not have a 'cabinet' structure designed for executive management and no ‘party whip’.
Members who are, or become deputies, will be free to vote as they wish. However, the association would bring together people willing to cooperate and work together.
'We want people to feel inspired and get involved,' said Deputy Mooney.
'We want to make Government more accessible, more responsive to the needs and wishes of our community.
'Members will jointly develop the association’s constitution and policy priorities and, before each election, our common manifesto.'
