The House of Keys sits on Monday (March 16) morning to elect up to four new members of the Legislative Council.
Six candidates are bidding for the vacancies, with a minimum of 13 votes required to be successful.
Phil Braidwood is seeking re-election, while MHKs David Cretney, David Anderson and Bill Henderson are seeking elevation to the upper house.
The other two candidates are outsiders to politics, advocates Paul Beckett and Christopher Kinley.
Chief Minister Allan Bell admits it’s often hard to gauge how Legislative Council elections unfold:
