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:
Schools returning for new academic year
Police issue advice for road users ahead of the back-to-school rush
Chairman 'really proud' of MGP Supporters Club legacy
Charity winding down operations after 51 years
Election-themed music show to raise funds for four local charities
Shows to include well-known songs with reworked lyrics
Artemis Accords signing should be General Election issue says society
Call for candidates to 'boost' STEM on IoM
