Port St Mary to get an election

Port Erin has unfilled seats, though

Two villages in the south of the Island have announced their candidate lineups – and only one will need to go to the polls.

Port St Mary says it’s had ten people come forward for seats on the commissioners, meaning it’ll go to the polls on April 28.

In Port Erin, however, three empty seats remain after just six would-be members came forward to fill nine seats.

Commissioners there will have to re-advertise.
