Youngsters reminded to register to vote

An action group is calling for island youngsters to make sure they're registered to vote in the General Election 2021.

Vote Youth IM wants the younger demographic to have more of a voice in Manx politics.

A spokesman said: "There's a saddening trend of lower political participation, not just on island but worldwide".

However, the group believes the power of social media can help to bring about change. 

It comes as the Manx government issues a reminder to everyone aged 16 and over, that the last opportunity to register to vote in the House of Keys General Election is 2 September.
