Digital Hustings

We’re encouraging candidates to put technology on the political agenda by driving a Digital Manifesto for the Island. We’re launching Jersey’s first ever ‘Digital Hustings’, inviting candidates to reassure voters about their knowledge of the island’s fastest growing industry.

We asked individuals on Jersey’s high street what they thought candidates up for election should consider and the importance of Digital to Jersey’s Community.
