The 2020 Guernsey general election took place on 7 October 2020 to elect 38 members of the States of Guernsey. Originally scheduled to be held in June 2020, it was delayed a year to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic before being brought forward to its final date.[4][5][6]

This election was the first on the island to include political parties, as the first ones were organised and registered in 2020. The parties were partly created to help candidates cope with the 2020 change to an Island Wide voting system, it being considered difficult and expensive for one candidate to reach out to the 30,000 electors, with those holding similar views being able to produce a joint manifesto for a party. It was equally difficult for electors to read 119 individual candidates manifestos. A candidate needing around 7,000 votes to get elected in 2020 compared to as little as 700 under the previous district system.

On 16 October 2020, Peter Ferbrache was elected president of the Policy and Resources Committee by a vote of 23–17, ahead of incumbent Gavin St Pier.[7]
