Alderney has 10 States members, serving four-year terms, with half of the seats being contested every two years.
Among those who will be standing later this month are the longest-serving States member Steve Roberts, and Jeannie Cameron, the chair of the Policy & Finance Committee.
Another sitting member seeking a further term is Derwent Smithurst, while former States members Bill Walden and Lin Maurice are both seeking to return to politics, the former after a long absence.
Also on the ballot sheet will be airport campaigner and radio presenter Ian Taylor, and former election candidate Haydn Bateman, who stood in the March 2025 by-election.
Mr Taylor has the chance to replace his wife, Veronica, who stands down after less than two years in the States, while former Policy & Finance chairman Bill Abel is stepping down after six years in government. Looking to break into island politics for the first time are 21-year-old Heather Syer and Sarah Woodnutt.
Both moved to the island as young children. Miss Syer works in the island’s hospitality sector and Ms Woodnutt works in the finance department at the Connaught Care Home, and part-time helps to teach sea swimming for the island’s children.
