The Island's newly appointed Electoral Commission is set to begin work reviewing the number of constituencies on the Island.

The group had its first meeting this week and will eventually submit a report to Tynwald on the constituencies and their boundaries.

Other elements that will be looked at include accessibility of elections to voters, postal and proxy voting procedures and whether an all-Island polling station is feasible.
