candidates who had failed to be elected filed a letter of complaint, alleging that the election was illegal as the States of Guernsey had provided funding to encourage more women to stand for election and to provide them with assistance by running a course. The complaint was rejected on the basis that the funds had been provided and spent before any candidates had put their names forward for the election, therefore they did not assist any 'candidates'.http://guernseypress.com/news/2016/05/27/illegal-election-complaint-rejected/ ‘Illegal’ election complaint rejected Guernsey Press 27 May 2016 They subsequently asked the UK government to investigate the election.http://guernseypress.com/news/2016/09/09/defeated-candidates-call-on-uk-to-investigate-election/ Defeated candidates call on UK to investigate election Guernsey Press 9 September 2016 References External links Election 2016 Information for prospective candidates Category:Elections in Guernsey Category:2016 elections in Europe General election 2016 Category:April 2016 in Europe
