Electoral system
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.
