Peel residents are being urged to cast their vote in today's local authority election.
Clerk of the Commissioners, Peter Ledley, says there are nearly 3,000 people eligible to go to the polls.
At the last election in 2004 there was a turnout of around 40 per cent.

They are Ian Baker, Tony Pearce and Iaen Skidmore.
