A referendum on the composition of the Chief Pleas was held in Sark between 16 August and 6 September 2006,^[1] following an informal referendum in February.^[2] Voters were given the choice of having all 28 seats elected, or to have 12 seats for Deputies, eight for tenants and eight elected by everyone.^[1]

Background

On 8 March 2006 the Chief Please voted to reduce the number of seats from 52 to 28.^[3] The proposed system at the time was for 14 seats to be reserved for landowners and 14 elected by the general population.^[3] However, in April the Seigneur Michael Beaumont warned the Pleas that this may not be approved by the Privy Council.^[4] In July three options were put forward; electing all 28 members by universal suffrage; having 16 members elected by the general public and 16 elected by tenants, and having 16 tenants and 16 general members all elected by universal suffrage.^[5] A meeting held on 6 July was unable to make a decision due to disagreements on whether to hold a consultative referendum.^[5] However, the referendum was agreed to on 9 August.^[6]

The Pleas determined that voter turnout must be at least 60% and that a winning option must receive 54.5% of the vote.^[1]
