The Douzaine is made up of twelve Douzeniers, who are elected residents of St Martin and serve voluntarily for terms of up to four years, although they can stand for re-election

Elections are held annually at the beginning of November, where applicants and voters must be on the Electoral role for St Martin to be eligible to, stand for the role of Douzenier, or to nominate a parishioner, second a nomination or vote for a nominee.

The Douzaine meets monthly to discuss parish matters, of which there are eleven meetings during a calendar year.
