for Saint Ouen, Jersey parish. Elections were held in Jersey on 30 August 1940. The island was occupied by the Germans from 1 July 1940 until the surrender of the German forces on 9 May 1945. During this time, there was one election, held soon after the occupation began.

He won 70% of the vote against Thomas Jenkins. The election was unique in that only two candidates stood to represent the entire island. The post was abolished in 1942.
