Power 'in your hands' says DEC
The Island's 16 to 18-year-olds have more power than they might think, according a new information booklet being circulated to schools ahead of September's General Election.
It urges teenagers to join the electoral register and vote, in order to shape the issues that affect them daily.
Joel Smith from the Department of Education and Children, which authored the publication, said more young people should use their voice:
DHSC looking to 'map clear way forward' over bed shortages
Minister meets with MSC after senior medical staff raise alarm
DEFA reviewing governance and operational structure at abattoir
'Some degree of change' may be required
More roadworks planned for busy Douglas route
Dead tree to be felled whilst DoI repairs carriageway
Ballaugh Commissioners says small authorities 'disregarded' over NCAS
Chair Steven Curphey claims there's been 'limited' communication with DoI
