States of Alderney

The States of Alderney (French: "États d'Aurigny") is the parliament/council and legislature of Alderney in the Bailiwick of Guernsey. It sends two representatives to the States of Guernsey as well. The origin of the States is unknown, but has operated from the mediaeval period.

The States of Alderney consists of the President, directly elected every 4 years, and 10 States Members, half elected every 2 years for a 4 year mandate. The President of Alderney is Sir Norman Browse (since 2002). The whole island is a single constituency.

Until the reform of 1948, the States of Alderney consisted of:
* Lieutenant-Governor of Guernsey
*the Judge (appointed by the Crown, equivalent of the Bailiff in Guernsey and Jersey)
*6 Jurats (elected by the voters)
*the officers of the Court of Alderney
* 4 Douzainiers (elected annually by the ratepayers)
* a Douzainier-Delegate (appointed by the Douzaine)
* 3 People's Deputies (elected by the voters for a 3 year mandate)
