Polls opening today for Douglas South by-election

Residents in Douglas South are going to the polls today to elect two new MHK's for the area.

Ten candidates are vying for the positions during today's by-election in the area and the winners will serve in their posts until the next Isle of Man General Election in September next year.

There are currently no MHK's for the constituency following the passing of Bill Malarkey earlier this year and the resignation of Kate Costain last month.

Polling stations will be open for registered voters between 8am and 8pm today at Pulrose Methodist Church, Anagh Coar Primary School and Scoill Vallajeelt.
