Cabinet Office hope to have it rolled out for local elections next year
A new voting count system was introduced at the Port St Mary Commissioner's by-election this week.
It's called a 'kangaroo' - the papers are layered in between a piece of clear plastic, votes are counted in a row and tallied at the end of the board.
Frank Carolan, Head of Crown and Elections at the Cabinet Office hopes the new approach will be rolled out at more elections:
Clerk Hayley Kinvig said the process was 'smooth':
Extended deadline for return of hospital services at Ramsey
Hopes some services could return to RDCH before TT

Only 73 in that category allocated a home in three years, despite nearly 600 on the waiting list
