Proposals have been drawn up to remove Senators, who serve a six-year term on an all-Island mandate, and put all States Members up for four-year terms from the next election in 2011.
Privileges and Procedures, who have responsibility for States reform, are putting forward proposals to keep the 12 parish Constables in the States and rearrange the 41 remaining seats into large ‘super-constituencies’.
Although they have made no formal announcement of their intentions, the proposals have surfaced in the minutes of their meeting of 20 February.
