Four candidates are set to battle it out for positions as councillors in the Island capital.
Two seats for the Derby Ward are currently vacant following the passing of former Mayor, Debbie Pitts, in January and the resignation of Colin Cain last year, with Andrew Bentley currently the sole representative for the area.
Alan Buck, Samuel Hamer, Amanda Walker and Devon Watson will be in the running for the positions.
The successful candidates will then serve in their posts until May 1 next year, after which the ward will be dissolved as part of plans previously approved by Tynwald which will eventually see the number of councillors in Douglas reduced from 18 to 12.
Meanwhile, voters in the area will head to the polls to choose their favourite candidate in a by-election on Thursday, October 15.
Polling stations on the day will be at the Manx Concert Brass bandroom on Derby Road and the Scout Hall on Demesne Road which will be open from 8am to 8pm.
