Hustings
Between now and 13 October hustings are due to take place around the island to give islanders the chance to speak to candidates.
Each Parish will host a Senatorial husting, organised by the Constable of that Parish and normally held at the Parish Hall.
There will also be a separate Countryside husting organised by the Rural Alliance at the RJA&HS Showground in Trinity.
And two Meet the Candidates sessions held at the Town Hall and the RJA&HS Showground in Trinity.
The arrangements for the Parish hustings ask that candidates limit the number of supporters they bring with them, to allow room for Parishioners.
It also sets a limit of three minutes on each Candidate for their speech - with a warning bell ringing 20 seconds before the end of their time.
Questions will also be taken from people in the audience at the hustings, with priority given the Parishioners, and candidates will be given a minute to reply to questions.
All hustings start at 7.30pm and are expected to end by 9.30pm - but with 21 candidates that could be a tall order.
