    I haven't got mine yet and I'm getting worried with the elections so close. Has anyone got theirs?

    Also yesterday. Even if it doesn't arrive you can show up on the day with appropriate ID. If you are not sure where to go contact your local council and ask them.

    My details still cannot be found on www.checktheregister.ie nor have i received a voting card despite sending in the forms for the supplementary register around May 7th.

    Does this mean i'm not on the register to vote?

    I would contact the local authority you registered with. There is no guarantee that the register has been updated with anyone on the supplementary register. Even though I am registered it usually takes me a few goes to match my name. It must match exactly.

    That site is rubbish. The link for Dublin didn't have my road! Or anywhere near it.

    Works great for Offaly, I'm guessing it depends on the council responsible for the area putting in the locations or something.

    Live in the middle of no place and it is on it fine. Dublin is a little bigger of course.

    Got someone elses :-/

    Ex tennant I guess who hasn't updated their location. Mine arrives at the parents house. It probably has arrived. Definitely registered anyway.

    No cards here yet.

    I'm in Dublin South and I do not appear on the online register but they say I am on it when I rang them. The amount of junk mail that I have gotten from the Political parties also tells me that I am on it!!

    Got mine today. However one of my friends only registered 3 or 4 days before the closing date, and he has not received a polling card. Im pretty sure if you just go up with id they will tick you off the list. Its what my mother always did.

    Meath West arrived in today's post.

    You can still go and vote without a polling card, as long as your name is on the electoral roll. Just bring your driving licence/passport to the polling station that has been assigned to your area, they are listed in the local papers this week.....

    Mine came yesterday. As did my parent's and my brother's. The brother's in Australia and I doubt the parents will use the vote.
