hmm...turns out myself and my boyf got two each! We updated our address a few months ago...but they were sent to our current address AND our old address!

Has this happened to anyone else??

I worked at polling stations before and if both of the cards are registered, you're required to inform the presiding officer at the polling booth so they can update the register

well I'm in Galway East nothing as yet! Anybody else from Galway east get theirs?

Who do you contact in order to find out? Both my wife and I are registered.

I rang home there about twenty minutes ago, not arrived yet. Does anyone know if its the decision of the local authority when to send them out, or is it a national thing?

Even if they're in two different constituencies? I just don't want to run the risk of traveling down to my old one and it turns out I can't vote down there after all!

Hmmm which constituency should I vote in now...

I work for a County Council in IT (where our voting cards are printed) and the printing has just finished. I would imagine the posting out has been ongoing and some will have received them while others are on the way but am I not correct in saying you don't actually need the card once you are registered - http://www.checktheregister.ie/ - just ID?

Hmmm, how does one check the supplementary register?

I had to go on it (or submit the form for it) after checking the register and being on it 5 weeks ago, after asking to remain on it in November, then being taken off it for whatever reason, saying they never received my notice and that they don't check email that they said you could contact to remain on it...good ol fingal council...

'Sure we don't check that' she said....I mean why put the email address on it to say you could use it as a confirmation method? Probably too efficient for them...any way, do we have to ring them? I have no trust in them having me on it after my last phone call of frustration...

I got it a couple of days ago, oh it feels so good to have power in your hands, although has there been anyone who won an election by a mere 1 vote?

If you dont get one, can you bring ID and still vote?

I updated my address, completely new county, Wicklow to Dublin South East, last November so I am hoping their isnt any mix up as I have seen other people in the house (house converted to 7 flats) who have received theirs.

Also, when I checked, www.checktheregister.ie I wasnt on it, but when I rang, they assured me I was on it.

I'm in Dublin South East and this is the 1st time I've registered to vote.

I delivered my RFA2 in person to the Ormond building on the 31/1/11 to be included on the supplementary register.

Yesterday i see that the polling cards for the rest of the residents in my house have arrived in the post but nothing for me yet.

How can i check if i have been registered to vote and has anyone else in Dublin South east who registered for the supplementary reg received their polling card?

Can you vote with ID without a voting card?

You can vote in the GE without a Polling Card once you are actually on the Register. You should bring Photographic ID along with some proof of address just to be sure.

I have put a list of documents required when voting without a polling card on the thread
