Polls open this morning for general election voting

Polls on the Isle of Man are due to open at 08:00 BST to allow voting in the general election.

Sixty-five candidates are standing for election but only 24 can be chosen to fill the vacant seats in the House of Keys.

Voters in each of the island's 12 constituencies will elect two members, who will serve as MHKs until 2026.

The new MHKs will be sworn in at a special sitting on 28 September.

Voters are reminded to bring along their polling cards when heading out to the polling stations across the Island. 

Polls remain open until 20:00.
