Issue should be government priority
Getting people back on the voting register should be a key priority for government - that's according to Douglas Council Leader David Christian.
Latest figures show 12,000 fewer people are on the voters list in comparison to the previous quarterly register.
There are both local authority and general elections taking place on the Island next year.
Mr Christian has warned of a worryingly low turnout unless something is done:
Information Commissioner rules DESC mishandled FOI on lecturer contracts
Department ordered to revisit request after wrongly refusing to confirm existence of conflict-of-interest records
Second roadside checkpoint finds a third of motorists driving with vehicle defects
10 of the 30 vehicles stopped had issues with lights or other minor faults
Sailings timings changed following adverse weather conditions overnight
Several crossings pushed back due to later than originally scheduled arrival of Manxman
Bird flu confirmed after wild buzzard found dead near Bride
Warning issued by DEFA but no restrictions imposed
