Seventeen per cent of electorate not eligible to vote
An Island advocate says 17% of the Manx electorate won't be able to vote in Thursday's general election - because they're not registered.
Although registration is technically compulsory, it's up to residents to complete and return their own forms - Mr Wright says the Island should aim for a higher figure.
Mr Wright has recommended online registration as way to ensure all those entitled to vote, do so.
He told Manx Radio it's an area he's been concerned about for some time:
IOM aware of 'a small number' of visa holders being stopped at the UK border
Demolition of former Castletown Golf Links Hotel to start
Douglas Council announces 'moderate' rates increase with investment in facilities
Green Lounge gets approval
