Pilot scheme launched for Douglas South polling station votes

Registered voters in Douglas South will be allowed to cast their vote at any polling station within their constituency this year as part of a new pilot scheme.

It means people can vote at Pulrose Methodist Church, Anagh Coar Primary School or Scoill Vallajeelt at the general election on 23 September.

Normally voters are allocated one polling station which they must attend.

Voters are asked to be prepared to travel to their original polling station should they encounter any issues, as the pilot scheme system is still in the testing stages.

The general election will see 24 MHKs elected from the 65 candidates standing across the Isle of Man.

Polling stations will be open from 8am to 8pm on 23 September for people to cast their votes.
