The electoral register is a list of all the people entitled to vote in the Isle of Man. It includes your name, address and an electoral number that is unique to you.

You must be registered in order to take part in elections in the Isle of Man.

Not being on the electoral register can also affect your credit reference history and potentially result in an application for a mortgage, loan or mobile phone contract being refused.
