Nearly half of Douglas voters have been excluded from the electoral register.
That's according to economic and business consultancy Carse Hannay, which claims several thousand people aren't eligible to vote in next week's by-elections.
The Island's Electoral Registration Unit recently changed the system so voters are taken off the list if they don't fill in the registration form.
Island wide there are only 67 per cent of voters who are registered.
Carse Hannay's Peter Hannay, who used to work for Treasury, says it's a bleak state of affairs:
Warning over flare disposal after amenity site fire
Drug-driver jailed after passenger injured in crash
Suspended sentence for 56-year-old in cannabis supply case
Owner of a block of flats fined for failing to meet fire safety regulations
Review of taxi fares extended to assess impact of Middle East conflict
