Guernsey's deputy chief minister has described the current electoral system as "isolating".
Voters backed the move to elect politicians from an entire island constituency, rather than the previous district system, at a referendum in 2018.
Deputy Heidi Soulsby, who is standing down at the 2025 general election after 13 years in local politics, said she believed the system had cut voters off from politicians.
"I don't like this system, you miss one-on-one conversations and that connection with the public," she told the BBC.
"People have to come to you, in a way that's different to the parish system, you were going to them."
At the first island-wide general election in 2020, she came second with 12,779 votes, while she topped the polls in the South East in 2012 with 2,061 votes.
Soulsby said: "If I wanted to stand, it wouldn't have stopped me, but the thought of going through this really isolating existence wasn't ideal."
