    hi

    I am registered to vote for Friday but I am registered at my previous address.

    Double checked I am on the register, double checked where the polling station is and I have valid ID.

    Dont have a polling card obviously but I am wondering will they need proof of address. I havent lived there in about 5 years but could never manage to change my address on the register

    Thanks

    If you don't have a polling card you need proof of address as well as identity.

    If you do have a polling card all you need is proof of identity.

    A bit late now but you should have filled in the change of address form & submitted it at least 14 days ago.

    By any chance does your driver's licence still have your old address on it?

    My only other suggestion would be to see if you can get your polling card from the old address which is a very long shot as it's probably been dumped by this.

    oh dear so I cant vote so

    I know I need to get the form done but getting to a garda station that would sign it is a nightmare

    Is there any way around this?
