    How do folks?
    I'm yet to receive my polling card for Fridays vote. Have you fine people received yours? The last number of times I've voted I've had the card well in advance, but somehow this time no joy.

    Same here, both myself and mother got ours. However, my grandmother and grand/great auntie (which is it?) haven't got theirs. Both are on the register though.

    You won't need it. Just turn up with ID.

    I've moved house (Kerry to Meath) since last voting and re-registered. I emailed to ask if I was registered and what to do if I don't get my voting card. They confirmed I was registered and just turn up on the day with ID if the card doesn't arrive so no need to panic.

    Whole family got theirs last week. But you don't need one to vote as mentioned on the The Referendum Commission website
    I haven't received my polling card yet. Do I need it to vote?
    You do not need your polling card. You must bring a valid form of personal identification, such as a passport or driving licence, with you when you go to vote.

    I recently moved address and am thus on the supplement to the register.
    I haven't received anything re the election; should i not get some kind of paperwork to at least confirm where my polling station is?

    If you are registered, go to checktheregister.ie and make sure if you are registered if you are, you can click on the full details button and it will show where your polling station is.

    Thanks for that, i had checked numerous times in the last few weeks and it hadnt been updated. I checked it just now and its showing as my new address :-)
    It dosnt say my polling station but i'm a bit more at ease now i know my vote is in the area (i don't fancy cycling to the other side of the city on Friday)

    We only got ours this morning so may still be on the way to you. As others have said you can just bring photo ID and proof of address if it doesn't arrive. TBH probably no harm doing that anyway!

    You can look it up on https://www.checktheregister.ie/
    Failing that contact Dublin City Council, they should be able to help.

    I'm sure others, like myself, just searched "voter card" and this page came up
