Your Guide to the 2026 Election Manifesto Mailing
Isle of Man Post Office can help election candidates send printed manifestos to households in their constituency. This service is designed to make the process easier, especially if you have not arranged a large mailing before. You can choose full support, or only the services you need.
We help prepare and deliver your manifesto through the postal network.
Depending on what you need, we can help with:
• Printing addresses on envelopes
• Producing covering letters (optional)
• Putting your manifesto and covering letter into envelopes
• Preparing items for postage
• Supplying postage stamps
• Delivering items to households in your constituency
You do not need to know how postal mailings work before you contact us. Our team will explain the process and what information we need from you.
A printed manifesto helps you put your message directly into voters’ homes.
It can support your campaign by:
• Giving voters something they can keep and read later
• Reaching people who do not use social media
• Supporting door-knocking, meetings, adverts, and online activity
• Helping voters understand who you are, what you stand for, and how to contact you
1. Contact us early
Please contact our Commercial Team before you print your manifesto.
We will explain the options available and check what you need. We can also advise on size, format, timescales, and what happens next.
2. Prepare your manifesto
You arrange the design and printing of your manifesto.
Before printing, please check the planned size and format with us. This helps avoid delays or extra costs.
3. Complete the required forms
We will guide you through any forms, confirmations, or agreements needed to process your mailing.
4. Choose the support you need
You can choose from a range of services.
For example, we can print addresses, produce covering letters, place items into envelopes, apply postage, and prepare your mailing for delivery.
5. Delivery
Your mailing is delivered through the postal network to households in your constituency.
Eligible candidates may be entitled to funded postage for one election communication sent to each household in their constituency that contains one or more registered voters.
This support is limited to standard letter-sized items.
The maximum size is:
• 24cm long
• 16.5cm wide
• 0.5cm thick
• 100g maximum weight
Items larger than this may incur extra charges.
Please contact us before printing so we can confirm whether your planned mailing can be processed correctly.
It helps to have:
• A draft of your manifesto
• An idea of when you would like it delivered
• An estimate of what you want to send, such as a manifesto only, or a manifesto and covering letter
• Any questions about size, envelopes, postage, or delivery
You can still contact us if you are at an early stage. We will explain what is needed.
To discuss manifesto delivery, please contact our Commercial Team.
