Candidate shrugs off voters' list error

Given wrong voter's list

An election candidate says she accepts a simple error led to her being issued the wrong voters' list as she rounded-up backers.  

Cat Turner was among the last of seven candidates to declare she would stand in the House of Keys by election in East Douglas.

All would-be candidates must win support from registered voters in the constituency before handing in their nomination papers.

Ms Turner was mistakenly handed the edited list by the General Registry, but spotted the error in time to swap it for the full version before last Tuesday's deadline.  

She says it wasn't obvious at first which list she'd been given.

 

The other candidates are:Clare Bettison, Kurt Buchholz, Jonathan Joughin, John McBride, John Falk and Geraldine O'Neill.

Election day is Thursday, November 12.
