选举马恩岛24名代表民众的政客的投票已结束。该岛12个选区各选出两名成员，任期至2031年，在国会下院任职。
The vote to elect 24 politicians to represent the people of the Isle of Man has taken place. Two members have been chosen in each of the island's 12 constituencies to serve a term in the House of Keys lasting until 2031.
这24名下院议员（MHK）将组建新政府，包括一名将领导未来五年行政工作的首席部长。以下是后续流程：周二上午11:30（英国夏令时），所有24名当选者将正式宣誓就任马恩岛议会成员。宣誓仪式在下院举行，由首席和第二首席审判官主持。
From those 24 MHKs a new government will be formed, including a chief minister to lead the administration for the next five years. Here is how that will unfold: On Tuesday morning at 11:30 BST all 24 of those elected will be formally sworn in as members of the Manx parliament. The ceremony takes place in the House of Keys and is conducted by the first and second deemsters.
每位新成员可选择宣读正式的效忠誓词或作庄严确认——可用英语或马恩盖尔语进行。
Each new member has the choice of taking an official oath of allegiance or making a solemn affirmation - this can be done in either English or Manx Gaelic.
这一过程至关重要，因为当选代表在正式宣誓前，不得在议院就座，也不得参与任何议会辩论或投票。
This process is crucial as elected representatives cannot take their seats in the chamber, or take part in any parliamentary debate or votes, until officially sworn in.
同一天下午14:30，新宣誓就职的下院议员将返回议院，参加下院会议以选举主持官。
Later the same day, at 14:30, the newly sworn-in MHKs will return to the chamber to take part in a sitting of the House of Keys to elect a presiding officer.
为此，资历最深的合格成员将被任命主持会议。要具备资格，该下院议员不得是前届政府的部长，也不得是该职位的候选人本人。随后提名和附议候选人，若仅有一人被提名，则该成员当选。若有多名候选人，则进行投票，获得多数票者当选。新当选的议长随后将主持副议长的选举，流程相同。欲角逐马恩岛政坛最高职位，下院议员须经历一系列程序。
To do this the longest serving eligible member is appointed to preside over the proceedings. To qualify to do this, the MHK cannot be a minister from the previous administration or themselves a candidate for the role. Candidates must then be proposed and seconded and if there is only one name put forward that member is elected to the post. If there is more than one candidates, a ballot takes place with the member receiving a majority of votes declared successful. The newly-elected Speaker then presides over the election of the Deputy Speaker, which follows the same process. To put themselves forward for the top job in Manx politics, MHKs must take part in a series of procedures.
首先，其政策主张须提交廷瓦尔德书记官办公室，后者将于10月6日予以公布。
Firstly, their policy proposals must be submitted to the clerk of Tynwald's Office, which will publish them on 6 October.
随后将举行一场候选人答辩会，参选者需回答同僚MHK（下院议员）的提问。
That will be followed by a hustings for those putting themselves forward, which sees them answer questions from their fellow MHKs.
下周二（10月13日），下院将于10:00举行会议，让首席部长候选人发表开场陈述并回答议员提出的问题。
The following Tuesday, 13 October, a sitting of the Keys takes place at 10:00 to allow the chief minister candidates to make an opening address and face questions tabled by members.
随后将进行投票以确定首选提名人，该提名人必须获得至少13票。随后将举行第二轮投票以确认任命。如果没有候选人获得所需票数，议长可以要求重新提名。一经MHKs选出，提名人将由副总督正式任命。
A ballot is then held to identify a preferred nominee, who must secure at least 13 votes. A second vote is then held to confirm the appointment. If no candidates attract the required votes, the Speaker can call for fresh nominations. Once selected by the MHKs, the nominee is formally appointed by the lieutenant governor.
首席部长随后挑选其部长委员会成员，领导组成曼岛政府的八个部门，随后再任命各部门的成员。
The chief minister then chooses his Council of Ministers to head up the eight departments that make up the Manx government, with departmental members for each appointed thereafter.
法定委员会（如公平交易办公室、曼岛公用事业公司和曼岛邮政）的主席和成员也将被选出。
Chairpersons and members of statutory boards, such as the Office of Fair Trading, Manx Utilities and the Isle of Man Post Office, are also selected.
MHKs将与立法委员会成员于10月20日周二10:00齐聚一堂，举行新议会年度廷瓦尔德法院的首次会议。
MHKs will gather along with members of the Legislative Council for the first sitting of the Tynwald Court of the new parliamentary year on Tuesday, 20 October, at 10:00.
最后，在下个月的会议（11月17日）上，将举行议会委员会成员的选举。
And finally, at the following month's sitting, on 17 November, the election of members to serve on parliamentary committees takes place.
