Have you highlighted the correct townland from the drop down list?

Have you entered your full Christian name and surname e.g., Anthony McVeigh could be entered as Tony McVeigh?

You could have put Patrick on your form and are searching under Paddy or Pat.

Surnames beginning with O’Reilly, McMahon/Mac or Irish names could have spaces or fada’s e.g., Ó Bradaigh or Uί Bhroin.

Hyphenated names could have a space or a hyphen.

No. You must be on the Register to be able to vote.

If you have not received a polling information card you can still vote if you are eligible and included on the electoral register.

Go to your polling station, bringing photographic identification with you and if the presiding officer is satisfied with your identification they will give you a stamped ballot paper.

Valid forms of ID include documents such as a passport, drivers licence or public services card.

A polling information card does not entitle a person to vote. 

If you have received a polling information card which is not addressed to you – you should return it to the local authority concerned indicating that it was received in error and provide any other relevant information, including for example, if a person has moved away having previously lived there or if they are deceased. 

The polling card is not mandatory for voting.  However, even if you have received a polling card, you will need to bring one of the following documents as proof of identification:

  • Passport
  • A current Driving Licence
  • An Employee identity card containing a photograph
  • A student identity card issued by an educational institution and containing a photograph
  • A Travel document containing name and photograph
  • A Bank or Savings or Credit Union book containing address
  • A temporary Residence Certificate card
  • A cheque card*
  • A credit card*
  • A birth certificate*
  • A marriage certificate*

*The last 4 items must be accompanied by a further document which established the address of the holder in the constituency or local electoral area.

Firstly you should contact our office at 01 205 4880 and clarify that you are registered at your correct address and have the correct status/nationality.  Once these two details have been confirmed as correct, you can then be given directions to the correct Polling Station in order for you to use your vote.
