Do you know which constituency you live in? Everyone living in Jersey has both a Parish of residence and an electoral constituency. This is important when it comes to an election as it determines how many votes you have. To help keep Islanders informed of what's happening where they live, a new series of reports has been released, breaking down the demographics, social characteristics and housing trends for each constituency. Find out more about your area, and inform your vote on Sunday 7 June: bit.ly/4ddHMFT
