Time-zone referendum count begins | |
(about 7 hours later) | |
People It In The Four | Counting has begun after people in Jersey took part in a referendum over whether the island should adopt Central European Time (CET). |
It would mean moving clocks forward one hour from GMT, bringing Jersey in line with its continental neighbour, France. | |
In order for the referendum to be passed, at least 52% of islanders need to vote in favour of it. | |
The vote took place alongside the States senatorial elections, with 21 candidates standing for six seats. | |
Four parishes are also electing constables. | |
Polls closed at 2000 BST and the results are expected in the early hours. |
