July working date for local authority elections
Tue, 11 May 2021
By Chris Cave - Local Democracy Reporter
A date for the local authority elections is still to be confirmed after the ballot was delayed. Tynwald unanimously backed postponing the vote after a rise in Covid-19 cases on the Island in March. It is now expected to take place in July, however, no date has yet been ratified. Although it’s been widely speculated that voters are now set to head to the polls on Thursday, 22 July, no official announcement has been made.
