Independent politicians won 32 of the 49 seats in the Assembly. Reform Jersey won 10 seats, primarily in the new St Helier constituencies, the largest win in the party's history. Whilst Jersey Alliance won a sizable share of the popular vote, it only won a single seat; almost all of its members in the Assembly were voted out, most notably the incumbent Chief Minister John Le Fondré. The newly founded Jersey Liberal Conservatives and Progress Party, comprising the JLC–Progress coalition, received 2 and 1 seats respectively.
Despite widespread electoral reforms made in 2021 intended to improve civic engagement, turnout decreased from the previous election to 41.6%. Following the election, Jersey Alliance's single member in the Assembly resigned from the party after only a month, leaving it with no representation in the States Assembly. The Progress Party disbanded a year later in July 2023.
