Former States Member Paul Le Claire, political reform campaigner Nick Le Cornu, former Emeraude shipping director Gordon Forrest, IT specialist Maureen Morgan and mechanic and Fort Regent campaigner Roy Travert are hoping to fill the seat vacated by Trevor Pitman.

Mr Pitman and his wife Shona, who lost her seat as Deputy in the St Helier No 2 district, were disqualified from the States after being declared bankrupt.
