David Ashford says a review of the Manx voting system is needed
A debate is needed about the electoral registration system - that's the view of Douglas Councillor David Ashford.
He was speaking after contesting the Douglas North by-election where he failed by 50 votes to become the new MHK for the constituency.
More than 12,000 people were taken off the voters' list Island-wide and around 800 in Douglas North alone.
And Mr Ashford says this is something that needs to be examined:
Seven acts promulgated in final Tynwald Day ceremony before election
Campaigners present petitions for redress of grievance in St John's
Sharp rise in data breaches on Island, says Information Commissioner's Office
Around 31,600 people thought to have been affected in 2025/26 year
Footage circulating on social media 'now an active investigation'
'We understand that the video is already in the public domain, but we are asking people not to speculate'
Annual Tynwald Day celebrations to get underway
Acts from the last year to be promulgated
