Residents Urged to be ‘Respectful’ During Election

Douglas Council is urging residents to be ‘respectful’ to all candidates during the election process.

The local authority says it has been informed of printed materials ‘violating’ the Elections Act by potentially ‘discouraging or preventing’ people from standing.

It’s confirmed that the incident has been reported to the police and an investigation will be commenced.

Guidance in relation to election materials is available on the government website.
