Absent Vote - Deadline Approaching

Absent Voters Application Forms are available at the office of Onchan District Commissioners.

I would remind you of the time limitations as laid down in the Local Elections (Absent Voters) Regulations 2003 (as amended) as follows:-

 An application by a local government elector to be treated as an absent voter for the purpose of a local election shall be made to the Returning Officer so as to reach him:-

 a)         where the absent voter’s ballot paper is to be marked in the Isle of Man, at least seven clear days before the date fixed for the poll (last date for receipt of the absent vote applications forms is 12th July 2021); or

 b)         where the absent voter’s ballot paper is to be marked elsewhere than in the Isle of Man, at least nine clear days before the date fixed for the poll (last date for receipt of the absent vote applications forms is 14th July 2021)
