A '''vingtaine''' ({{IPA|fr|vɛ̃tɛn|-|LL-Q150 (fra)-VictorDtmtc-vingtaine.wav}}, literally "group of twenty" in [[French language|French]]) is a political subdivision of [[Jersey]]. They are subdivisions of the various [[parishes of Jersey]], and one, La [[Vingtaine de la Ville]] (The Vingtaine of the town), in [[Saint Helier]] is further divided into two cantons.

St. Ouen has ''cueillettes'' ([[Jèrriais]]: ''Tchilliettes'') instead of vingtaines.

In each vingtaine, [[vingtenier]]s and [[Constable]]'s officers (in French: ''officiers du Connétable'') are elected as part of Jersey's [[Honorary Police]] system. They do not have to live within the vingtaine or cueillette they represent, but they must live in the parish they represent (except in St. Helier, where ratepayers and mandataires are eligible).

Vingteniers are elected by a [[Parish Assembly (Jersey)|Parish Assembly]] of electors and ratepayers for a term of three years but are elected to a particular vingtaine (or cueillette) in that Parish.  Vingteniers carry out general community policing in the parish, and fulfill administrative roles within their vingtaine in respect of tasks such as the [[Visite du Branchage]].

[[Constable's Officer]]s are elected to serve a vingtaine or cueillette at an Assembly of the electors of that Parish. They assist the [[Centenier]]s and vingteniers of the parish with community policing.

[[Roads Inspector]]s are elected to serve a vingtaine or cueillette at an Assembly of the electors of the Parish. They are responsible to for maintaining the highways and byways of the Vingtaine. Along with [[Honorary Police]] they are sworn in as officers by the [[Politics of Jersey|Royal Court]]. Roads Inspectors report to and must enforce the decisions of the [[Roads Committee]] of the Parish.
