Tynwald to consider election law changes

Tynwald members will be asked to approve new rules for election candidates, as this year's general election grows ever-closer.

When the court sits this month, members will vote on new regulations which would update polling rules.

They include publishing candidates' declarations of interests, government-organised meetings for the public, and pre-verifying postal votes to make them easier to count.

This year, the Island will elect a new House of Keys on Thursday, September 24.
