‘Option B’ proposed removing the ten Senators and having an Assembly made up of 30 Deputies and 12 Constables. There would have been six super-constituencies made up of clusters of parishes.
55 per cent of those who voted in April chose Option B after the second-preference votes of those choosing the two other options were reallocated. The turn-out was just 26 per cent of the electorate.
Today, States Members rejected a proposal to introduce Option B. 28 politicians voted against introducing Option B, 21 voted for it and one abstained.
The referendum was never legally-binding with the final say always resting with the States.
