Meeting tonight to hear ideas for constituency review

Tue, 17 Apr 2012

The first of 4 public meetings for voters to have their say on constituencies on the Island takes place this evening.

Members of the public are being asked for ideas on how to make the voting areas of the House of Keys equal.

Tynwald wants all constituencies to be represented by the same number of politicians, and for there to be roughly the same number of voters per Member.

Currently, there are 15 constituencies, electing between 1 and 3 MHKs.

The Boundary Review committee holds a meeting in the Promenade Methodist Church Hall in Douglas from 7.00 pm.

Further meetings will take place in Sulby, Arbory and St John's.
