Voters in Douglas South currently have no political representation in the island's parliament
Ten people will contest a by-election to fill two vacant seats in the House of Keys in August.

The poll will take place between 08:00 and 20:00 BST on 27 August.
The successful candidates will hold the seats until the next general election in September 2021.
The candidates are Anthony Allen, Pamela Birney-Malarkey, Claire Christian, Ian Clanton, David Fowler, Andrew Jessopp, Michael Josem, Kevin Oliphant-Smith, Lon Pinkerton, and Stephen Quine.
Douglas South is one of 12 constituencies that make up the House of Keys, each of which has two MHKs.
