Alderney

States members (five of ten ordinary seats)

Next: 2026-11-21. Window: 8 September 2026 to 8 March 2028. Checked 11 September 2026.

Three reported actual events plus three ordinary-cycle outcomes; primary numerical comparison pending; 3 historical entries

Five of ten seats rotate every two years. Latest actual events are 2025 and 2023 replacements around the 2024 ordinary renewal; 2022 and 2020 ordinary outcomes are retained separately. Independent candidates are not one party. July proposed date appears in the indexed final deliberations, but the approval wording was inaccessible and the election website still says TBC. The four-year presidency, elected November 2024, is outside the ordinary window.
