The Electoral Registration Unit is hoping the response to its second attempt to update the voting list will be better.
Only two in three households replied to its initial canvass in July.
The process will result in a new Register of Electors to be published on October 1.

He says in retrospect, election year in 2006 was not a good time to revise the list (audio file attached):
Manxman won't return to service until end of September
Steam Packet urged to be more 'transparent' over Manxman issues
Government needs to 'break the cycle' of child poverty on Island
Proportion on waiting lists likely higher than England
