just wondering what happens all the voting papers now?

I would assume they are shredded and then recycled but does anyone know?

I don't know tbh but i'd assume knowing our Government they are put into storage costing 10 million a year:rolleyes:

Bit off topic, but do other countries spend as long counting votes?

It said on the news that the recounts may go on for a good few more days yet.

They're kept in storage at Leinster house for 6 Months AFAIK.

They are stored for 6 months under the care of the clerk of the dail. They are then destroyed.

If we had e voting machines we'd have results in seconds.

Yeah, but we wouldn't believe them.

e-voting takes away the electorates option to spoil their vote.
