A long-serving member of the House of Keys says he is determined to ensure proxy votes aren't abused in next month's by-election in East Douglas.
The issue was raised at Tuesday's sitting by Onchan MHK Peter Karran.
A proxy vote is cast when a person gets permission to carry out the process of voting on behalf of another who is off the Island at the time of an election.
Mr Karran is keen that only residents, either on holiday or business, make use of the system:
Scammers becoming more sophisticated with AI, say police
Over £2million lost on the Island through reported scams in 2024
More restrictions for MHKs over planning comments
It's after House of Keys accepted series of amendments to standing orders
Two thirds of vehicles checked by police found to have defects
Officers carrying out roadside checks as part of 'Operation Uplift'
Campaign group welcomes step towards free period products
Manx Menstrual Movement has been calling for Island-wide provision since forming in 2024
