The States of Jersey is undergoing a wide-ranging programme of reform and modernisation and is intending to use a variety of ways to hear the views of Islanders: including social media, public meetings, consultations and formal opinion polls.

In this survey a number of questions were put to a broad sample of 1,000 Islanders, taking care to maintain a representative balance in age, gender and parish. This figure represents 1% of the island population. 

The polling was undertaken by an independent UK agency with a proven reputation for sampling public opinion in a fair and objective way.
