Recount called in St Helier Central

A recount will be held for one constituency following Jersey's general election.

Vote.je said the recount would be for the St Helier Central constituency as the difference between the lowest polled winner and the highest losing candidate is within the 1% margin of error.

Reform Jersey's Lee Carpenter with 833 votes finished ahead of Robin Ward on 812 for the fourth deputy position during the original count - the start of which was delayed until 10:30 BST on Monday following a high turnout for Sunday's election.

The recount is due to begin at 10:00 on Wednesday at the Town Hall.
