More than 15,000 failed to provide required information

There's a second and final chance for households to sign onto the Island's electoral register.

More than 15,000 homes failed to submit information by this year's February 1 deadline.

Letters have now been sent out from the government giving people another chance to register.

The new deadline is now Friday, February 19, and it is a legal requirement to provide information to update the Island's register.

Government has warned without doing so you will be unable to stand or vote in this year's general election or local authority elections.

For more information you can call the Electoral Registration Unit on 685754 or email elections@gov.im.
