Self-isolation could stop hundreds voting in Isle of Man elections

Councillor says many will be unable to vote due to Covid rules, with deadline for absentee ballots passed

Hundreds face being excluded from elections in the Isle of Man because of a lack of contingency plans for those self-isolating, it was claimed on the eve of polling.

Elections are due to take place in a third of the Isle of Man's local authorities on Thursday, having been postponed twice due to Covid-19 restrictions.
