A long-serving member of the House of Keys says he is determined to ensure proxy votes aren't abused in next month's by-election in East Douglas.
The issue was raised at Tuesday's sitting by Onchan MHK Peter Karran.
A proxy vote is cast when a person gets permission to carry out the process of voting on behalf of another who is off the Island at the time of an election.
Mr Karran is keen that only residents, either on holiday or business, make use of the system:
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Nature of work keeping boat in dry dock goes unexplained
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Committee report accepted by Tynwald in court's final sitting
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
Manx Care aiming for 95% of patients to be seen within a year
Sixth candidate declares for Glenfaba and Peel
Peel Commissioner and former MHK to contest election
