    I'll be out of the country for the presidential election next month. Is there any way I can cast my vote in advance? I've had a search around the web and didn't find any information.

    I doubt you can
    You will normally be required to vote in person at an official voting centre but you may be eligible for a postal vote if you are:

    An Irish diplomat or his/her spouse posted abroad
    A member of the Garda Síochána
    A whole-time member of the Defence Forces.
    You may also be eligible for a postal vote if you cannot go to a polling station because:

    Of a physical illness or disability
    You are studying full time at an educational institution in Ireland, which is away from your home address where you are registered
    You are unable to vote at your polling station because of your occupation
    You are unable to vote at your polling station because you are in prison as a result of an order of a court.
    Applications for inclusion on the Postal Voters List must be received by 25 November at the latest.

    If you are registered as a postal voter, you may vote by post only. You may not vote at a polling station.
