They found out you're related to the kaiser and don't want a diplomatic incident.

Are they expecting you to personally show up ?

Are you an non-Irish citizen/Looking for a postal vote/a member of the police/armed forces or something else out of the ordinary ?

They can vote in Council and European elections just like an Irish person living in Germany can.

no i lived in same place since i was one. ive nothing strange or kinda odd going on thats why i dont understand?

Mike 1972

Cant really explain it so. Maybe there is some question mark they have about your identity or somesuch ? Could be interesting to see what they say and how you get on.

Galway seems to have a similar set up. I can't understand why the county council is based in a city is has no jurisdiction over.

They put me on years ago despite the fact I never registered.

Youd want to check and make sure "you" have never voted.

Ardennes1944

this is true. 'you' could be voting for ff:mad:

Jesus Wept

That'd be pretty mad. Wonder will they have that info readily, methinks I'll get a bunch of people saying 'errr I dunno, have ya? Well no then, shure how could ya if ya didn't ya know?!, etc.
Doubtful I'll get a competent answer.

Probably hide behind privacy laws or something.
I know for a fact that the votes are destroyed once the count is done and signed off on, but they really should hold onto the reg sheets that they mark people off on as they come in and leave.

Hang on, how could your gf get a ballot card? You only get that when the election is called!

I read someplace that candates do get to see them whether this amounts to letting them have a peek or giving them an actual copy Im not sure.

Dont think theyd destroy them immediately after an election. Theyd have to hold onto them for at least a couple of months as they would be deemed evidence if anyone were to be charged with personation ?

Coriolanus

Yeah that's what I was thinking.

I never signed up either, anyone can put your name on the register AFAIK, shinners at home put my name on because they thought I'd vote for them(I didn't).:pac:

Jesus Wept

Seems kind of wrong that anyone can put your name and address on the register, do they not need other details? PPS?

Is the register where they take names for jury duty?
