Party	Seats	Vote	Reason
Homeland Union - The Conservative Democrats (HUCD) Proposer	40	Yes	No reason given
Valmoire Social Democratic Alliance (VSDA)	48	Yes	Extending Ducal Council election terms from three to eight months would provide greater political stability and allow elected representatives sufficient time to develop, implement, and evaluate their policies. Elections every three months create a constant campaign cycle, which can encourage short-term decision-making and make it difficult for councils to pursue meaningful long-term initiatives.
