Guide produced to help student voters

Wed, 05 May 2021

Voting age students will receive a free guide in the run up to this year’s General Election in a bid to boost participation.

‘The Island’s Future’ has been designed to encourage 16-18 year-olds to engage in the political process and highlighting the importance of using their vote. It also provides information about how to register, constituencies, and what to do on the day.

The booklet was designed jointly by the Department of Education, Sport and Culture and the Cabinet Office, and will be distributed to schools ahead of the House of Keys election on 23 September.

Isle of Man residents will elect 24 MHKs in September to represent them in the House of Keys and Tynwald. Only those who appear on the electoral register are entitled to vote.
