Election candidates to learn fate

Thu, 22 Sep 2016

Prospective MHKs will find out later whether they will serve in the House of Keys as the Island holds its General Election.

The polls opened at 8am this morning, with 12 constituencies picking a total of 24 representatives.

It's the first time every area has elected two candidates following a review into constituency boundaries after the last General Election in 2011.

The count will begin after polling stations shut at 8pm, with the results to follow shortly after.

Those with the most votes will be sworn in next Tuesday.
