The outgoing chief minister is pleased with the number of 16 and 17-year-olds who have registered to vote in Thursday's House of Keys general election.
In 2006, the first election in which they had the vote, 724 took advantage of the change.
This time 1,297 have registered.
Tony Brown, who is bringing the curtain down on a 35-year political career, says it's great to see the Island's youngsters taking more of an interest in politics:
Rugby: Bevan Rodd on bench for England's opening Six Nations match
MGP 26: A new Quayle set for the start line
Football: Douglas Royal face Peel in Floodlit Cup Final clash
Hockey: Three wins for Island sides in England Championships
