General elections were held in the Isle of Man on 22 September 2016. 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).
Following changes to the electoral system ahead of the elections, the 24 members of the House of Keys were elected from 12 constituencies, each returning two members. Previously, constituencies had varied in size, with some electing one, two or three members. The election used a multiple non-transferable vote system in each constituency, where voters had two votes (with the option to cast only one) to fill the two available seats.
