voting rights

Hi i am ashamed to say i have never voted in my life. II have seen people vote for one or the other but the result always was the same. A Right mess up of our rights and freedoms. I am 39. I am irish born and bred. Can some one tell me how i can go about and vote for the upcoming Referendum?

Just did it with a friend yesterday, very easy process, get form RFA2 from your local post office or library or download it on checktheregister.ie

fill it out bring it to the garda station to stamp then drop it to your local co. Counsil offices. As you are a late registration this form will put u on the supplement register.

Do it by may 5th as that is the closing date.

Because the result was not as you wanted, your rights and freedoms were messed up?

Maybe you don't understand how the process works.

You are free to take the time to register and vote no. But its highly likely that the result will be in favour of yes... Just in case you would be disappointed that the vote didn't go in your favour.

You will get a voting card in the post a few days before the referendum, you bring that to your registered polling station, hand it to the desk that covers your address and get your decision forms fill those out, then you take those back to the desk and put them in the ballot box. Voting done.

I recommend reading the referendum commission's booklet on the referendum so you can make an informed decision. They are an independent body and provide non biased information on exactly what voting yes or no means.
