A former MHK and long-time observer of the Manx political scene says plans to redraw constituency boundaries are a big step forward for electoral democracy on the Island.
Charles Cain says the move towards 12, two-seat constituencies for House of Keys elections is long overdue, giving voters equal representation and allocating equal numbers of voters to each MHK.

The revised boundaries and maps can be viewed online at: gov.im/cso/brc.
They're available at commissioners' offices and libraries around the Island.
