Douglas South currently has no representation in the island's parliament

Voting has closed in the Douglas South by-election to fill two vacant seats in the House of Keys.

Ten candidates are contesting the election triggered by the resignation of Kate Costain in July and the death of Bill Malarkey in February.

The successful candidates will hold the seats until the next general election in September 2021.

Douglas South is one of 12 constituencies that make up the House of Keys, each of which has two MHKs.

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.
