This week Manx.News continues its Vote 2026 Election Programmes and we want you, the voters, to have your say.
We want to know what matters most in your constituency, along with matters on a national scale.
Manx.News is giving voters the opportunity to comment, email or sending questions directly to the programme during the discussion.
The Rushen debate will take place at 8:30pm tomorrow (September 9). Are you a resident of Rushen and want to know how your prospective MHKs will deal with the issues that matter most to you? Then comment your question on the article, the social media post, email newsdesk@manx.news or tune in to the livestream tomorrow night.

Your Voice Drives The Debate
Every live programme is fully interactive. Watching from home, on your smart TV, tablet or even mobile phone, you can send questions directly to the panel; through our digital platforms putting your concerns, your priorities and your community issues straight to the candidates.
Housing, healthcare, transport, local services, the island’s future direction: if it matters to you, it gets asked.
The programmes will be hosted by Richard Slee who brings sharp moderation, clear questioning and live reaction throughout each programme, guiding viewers through the key exchanges and keeping candidates focused on straight answers.
Our broadcasts will run across local media outlets, online streams and television platforms, making the debates accessible wherever you are.
We have re-uploaded our series from the 2021 Election and you watch all the episode HERE
