Ballaugh, Jurby, Port Erin and Ramsey Commissioners as well as Douglas Council need new members

Five local authorities across the Island are looking for candidates to stand in by-elections. 

Ballaugh, Jurby, Port Erin and Ramsey Commissioners South Ward as well as Douglas Council Central Ward didn't receive enough candidates in April. 

Douglas Council and Ramsey Commissioners both need one new member, whilst two people are needed on Ballaugh, Jurby and Port Erin Commissioners respectively. 

Nominations open at 10am on the 11 June and those wanting to stand will need to submit their papers by the 18 June. 

If there are more candidates than the number of available seats in any of the constituencies, then a polling day will be held on the 17 July.
