The Guernsey Deputy Scorecard: every States deputy's promises, set against their votes

The Guernsey Deputy Scorecard is a free public website that sets what each States deputy promised at the 2025 election against how they have voted in the States of Deliberation. It covers all 38 deputies and is updated after every States sitting.

Guernsey has no established party system. Most deputies were elected as independents, so no whip decides how they vote and no party label is at stake if they drop a manifesto pledge. Once the count is over, nobody has the job of checking a deputy's word against their record. The scorecard does that checking in public, using only information the States of Guernsey already publishes.

What the Guernsey Deputy Scorecard measures

Each deputy's manifesto on election2025.gg, the official site for the 18 June 2025 general election, is split into individual promises. Each promise is matched to the recorded votes that genuinely test it, taken from the States' electronic voting record, which shows whether every deputy voted Pour (for), Contre (against) or Ne vote pas (abstained). Where the electronic system failed and a division was taken by name call, the result is read from the Official Report (Hansard) instead.

The verdict follows from the votes. A promise is kept if the deputy voted to deliver it on every vote that bears on it, broken if they voted against it on every such vote, and mixed if they did both. A deputy who was present but declined to take a side is recorded as abstaining, and one who never took a side because they were absent is shown separately. Whether the motion passed makes no difference: a deputy who backs an amendment that is then defeated has still kept the promise.

Many promises, especially executive ones, have no vote that bears on them. For those the scorecard uses a delivery verdict, researched from the public record, with the evidence cited on the deputy's page and checked by a human editor before publication. AI drafts the links between promises and votes. It does not decide how anyone voted and it does not calculate any score. The arithmetic is fixed, published and identical for every deputy, and the methodology page sets out every point value.

Each profile also shows chamber attendance, committee attendance where figures exist, amendments laid, committee roles and news coverage. The wider site adds deputy rankings, voting patterns across the chamber, a tracker for the Government Work Plan and a record of GST pledges against votes.

Who built the scorecard

The scorecard is built and maintained by Bridgehead Communications, a firm registered in London; the person who built it grew up in Guernsey. It is unpaid, was started on Bridgehead's own initiative and was not commissioned by any deputy, party or committee. Every figure links to a primary source. Corrections are published on the corrections page.

Questions about the Guernsey Deputy Scorecard

Are procedural votes scored?

No. A Rule 24(6) motion asks whether an amendment goes beyond the propositions before the Assembly, and a Rule 26(1) motion asks whether debate should stop. Neither asks whether the underlying policy is any good, so scoring them would record deputies as holding positions they never took. They still count towards a deputy's participation and still appear on their page.

What if a deputy disagrees with their record?

Every deputy's page carries a "Report a profile issue" button that routes a challenge to a human editor. Once an editor has corrected a link or a verdict, that correction is permanent and is never overwritten by a later automated run.
