Voters across the Island are invited to have their say on new electoral maps which re-draw boundaries for House of Keys elections.
The Boundary Review Committee yesterday (Wednesday) published detailed plans to replace the current 15 constituencies from which the 24 Keys members are elected.
At present the two biggest - Onchan and Rushen - return three members, there are five 'two-seaters' and eight constituencies are represented by just one MHK. And there's a big variation in the number of voters per-MHK.
Under the proposed new system, there would be 12, two-seat constituencies with the number of voters in each. roughly the same, around 7,000.
Chairman of the committee, Sally Bolton, is expecting broad support for the changes:
Main road between Peel and Douglas to shut for tree felling
'Targeted and intelligence led approach' to protect Island's borders during Irish sailings
Airport Director role advertised with top salary of £120,000
Traders on Michael Street feel 'abandoned' by politicians in tough times
