Just for the record

[lastlid]

Don't you have to be a British citizen, a Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Irish Republic who is resident in the UK before you can vote?

I can't vote in the UK anymore, only in the Isle of Man as I am resident here. My wife, on her spouse visa, is also a resident of the Isle of Man, but not the UK so she can vote in the Isle of Man elections. I checked this out a few months back and indeed if we were in the UK she would not be eligible.

This is quite useful for us as once she is on the electoral register here we can use it as evidence for ILR.
