Voting reminder ahead of local authority elections

Wed, 25 Apr 2012

Elections take place to find members for half of the Island's local authorities tomorrow.

12 of the Island's 24 local government boards are holding a public vote.

Registered voters can vote for as many people as there are seats in their area.

For example, those voting in Braddan can chose up to 5 names from the 7 people standing as their are 5 seats on the Commissioners there.

The Department of Infrastructure is urging anyone who is unsure on how to vote to look at its website.

12 authorities and 2 of the 6 wards within Douglas don't need to hold elections due to the number of candidates that came forward.
