    Couple of points.

    Constituency maps are wrong. I chose Dublin South and it highlighted all of Dublin county.

    Secondly: The official ballot hasn't been finalised yet!!
    This will basically screw up all you results and I suggest locking this vote thing until the ballots are finalised.

    Noel O'Flynn is not running
    Ted Tynan and Mick Barry are listed as independents when in fact they are members of the Socialist party.

    Really good idea and looks easy to use - one thing though, you are missing at least one candidate for Longford/Westmeath. Donal Jackson is running as an independent.

    Looks great though.

    Dublin North-East candidate list is incorrect. Brian Greene is listed twice, once as a Socialist candidate and once as an independent. I assume that this is an issue carried over from TheJournal.ie's incorrect list?

    Is ted Tynan not Workers party?

    Mick Barry is Socialist party, I came on here to point out the same mistake.
    They also have no photo of him. Why is that?

    You talking about our poll??

    If so, we took as much as we could from The Journals list of candidates and scraped as much as we could off the net too. If we missed something, it was only time which forced the error.

    I'm going to start a thread for "error spotting" and please post on that to let us know. We will rectify asap.

    Conor MacLiam is listed twice, once as Independent and once and Socialist Party. Seems he should be Socialist Party.

    They're not perfect, but if you would like to point out anything large, please do. :)
    I chose Dublin South and it highlighted all of Dublin county.
    Clicking on this will bring to to a map of Dublin with each constituency shown.
    Secondly: The official ballot hasn't been finalised yet!!
    This will basically screw up all you results and I suggest locking this vote thing until the ballots are finalised.
    People will be able to review their choices.

    The constituencies were re-named in the boundary review. Indeed part of west County Limerick is now associated with North Kerry as Kerry North-Limerick West.

    Add a table detailing party (column) by constituency (43 rows + national total). This would allow easier comparison between constituencies.

    Should be done as the parties' percentages* in each constituency. Rows should add to 100%, but columns should not add.


    * Possibly to be converted to number of seats in due course.

    Most of the Workers' Party candidates are listed as being Independents. Councillor Ted Tynan (Workers' Party, Cork North Central) has his name spelled wrong - it is TYNAN, not Tyan.

    Workers' Party has 6 candidates:-

    Cllr. Ted Tynan (Cork North Central)
    Malachy Steenson (Dublin Central)
    Mick Finnegan (Dublin Mid West)
    John Dunne (Dublin North West)
    Seamus McDonagh (Meath West)
    Joe Tobin (Waterford)

    all but Joe Tobin are for some reason listed as Independent.

    Your voting survey needs updating.

    Michael Kilcoyne wouldn't be my choice but he is very popular.
