    Not sure if this is the correct forum so Mods please move accordingly.

    I just got a letter from my local council to say that i'd missed the electoral deadline for the forthcoming referendum. The cut off was the 17th at 5pm and I mailed in my form the day before (it's all in Dublin so it should have been delivered the next day).

    First off, hands up, I shouldn't have left it so late, my fault.

    Is there anyway I can still cast a vote in the forthcoming election or am I screwed?

    If you aren't on the register you can't vote.
    Is there a possibility you are on the register at a previous address? Worth checking.

    My details are on the register but down the country, I just checked.

    Presumably this means I have to cast my vote there?

    Yes, polls are open until 10 o 'clock. You could turn it into a weekend away to catch up with your old mates.:)
