Polling cards for referendum

Zzippy

Has anyone here who's living in the city council area received their polling cards for the referendum next week? Are they even needed any more or can you just turn up at the station and vote?
I checked I was on the register, I just thought I'd have got a polling card by now...

All the polling cards arrived here last week.

It was in the post when I came home this evening.

And I'm voting no... just because I can!

Yeah, got mine and Im in Knocknacarra. Have to go to some small school near Pearse Satium. Id check it out if I were you, that's if you can be arsed to vote.

I got mine. As I never got my finger out and told anyone I had moved both address and county two things instantly sprung to mind (a) How did they know I'd moved? (b) How did they get my new address?

I have a spare polling card for a different polling station if anyone feels disenfranchised.

Never got my polling card checked the site and I'm not listed at my home house. I have moved but still have all my mail going to my home house. I didn't even sign anything when I moved, it's all cash in hand. I'll have to check if it came to my new address. I don't even have an address here it goes into a shop.

There are to of me listed on the street where I live now but I can't be sure I'm either of them. I don't see how they could know I moved.

never got my polling card either. what site do you check. i did get the info leaflet on the amendments to the constitution though so i am obviously on a list somewhere. if i just bring along a passport will i be allowed to vote without the polling card????

Polling cards aint necessary, as long as you are on the register and you bring some ID then you can vote

In my polling stataion this morning, there was roughly a 100 copies of the Irsh Independent just inside the entrance of the school. They were free copies to take away.
The headline reads "Vote on a knife-edge"

Does this constitute political literature in the polling station?

I'd normally be suspicious of the Indo but their front-page story on the treaty doesn't seem to have an agenda one way or another: http://www.independent.ie/national-news/lisbon-treaty/on-a-knifeedge-1406187.html

I'm just unhappy as the Irish Times would be a better freebie
