New 'e-canvass' system for electoral registers

The government is promoting a new way of how to update its records on who's eligible to vote on Island.

A new e-canvass process is encouraging people to respond electronically when updating their details for the electoral register.

Officials believe it will make the process quicker and easier for residents as well as being more cost-effective and environmentally-friendly for the government.

Those who've already consented for their e-mails to be used to register for electoral reasons will be invited to take part.

More information on the process and how it will work has been published on the governments official social media channels.
