General elections were held in the Isle of Man on 22 September 2016.[1] Independents won 21 of the 24 seats in the House of Keys. A record number of women were elected (5, or 21% of the House).[2]
Following changes to the electoral system ahead of the elections, the 24 members of the House of Keys were elected from 12 constituencies, each of which returned 2 members. Previously constituencies had varied in size from one to three seats.[3] Election is by multiple non-transferable vote in each constituency, with voters having two votes (of which they may choose to use only one) for the two seats.
