Candidates to hand in nomination papers

Tue, 30 Aug 2011

Those intending to stand in next month's General Election will hand in their nomination papers today.

Candidates must return the documents to the returning officer for their constituency between 10.00am and 1.00 this lunchtime.

So far, over 60 people have indicated they intend to stand for the 24 seats within the House of Keys.

Just two outgoing MHKs have indicated that they won't be standing.

Both Tony Brown and David Cannan have announced their retirement.

The full list of candidates is expected to be known later today.
