[4]
4. Voting Arrangements
In general, electors vote in person at the polling station for their locality. The polling information
card sent to each elector informs the person of his/her number on the register, the date and time of the
poll and the location of their polling station.

Postal voting is available to persons on the postal voters list. Eligible categories of persons are
members of the Defence Forces; Gardaí; civil servants (and their spouses) attached to diplomatic
missions; persons with a physical illness or physical disability residing at home who are unable to
attend in person to vote at a polling station; students registered at their home address who are living
elsewhere while attending an educational institution in the State; persons who, for reasons of their
employment, are unable to vote in person at their polling station on polling day; prisoners and certain
election staff employed at the poll outside the constituency where they reside.

Electors with a physical illness or physical disability resident in a hospital, nursing home or similar
institution who are included in the special voters list may vote at their hospital, nursing home etc., on
ballot papers delivered to them by a special presiding officer.

Electors with a physical disability who have difficulty in securing access to their local polling station
may apply to the Local Returning Officer to be authorised to vote at a more accessible polling station
in the same constituency or electoral area. Applications must be made by Friday, 29th May 2009. The
Local Returning Officer is required to publish a list of all polling stations which are not accessible to
wheelchair users as soon as possible but in any event by Thursday, 28th May 2009 at the very latest.
At the polling station on polling day, an elector with a physical disability, visual impairment or
literacy difficulty may be assisted in voting by the presiding officer or by a companion.

5. Evidence of Identity
An elector attending at a polling station to vote may be required to produce evidence of identity. A
person who fails to produce evidence of identity when requested, or who fails to satisfy the presiding
officer that they are the person to whom the document relates, will not be allowed to vote. The
documents which will be accepted as evidence of identity are listed on the polling information card
sent to electors before polling day and on posters displayed at polling stations. These documents are:

(i) a passport; (ii) a driving licence; (iii) an employee identity card containing a photograph; (iv) a
student identity card issued by an educational institution and containing a photograph; (v) a travel
document containing name and photograph; (vi) a Bank or Savings or Credit Union book

[5]
 containing address in constituency or electoral area; (vii) a Temporary Residence Certificate card;
(viii) a Garda National Immigration Bureau card; (ix) a cheque book; (x) a cheque card; (xi) a
credit card; (xii) a birth certificate; (xiii) a marriage certificate.

Items (ix) to (xiii) must be accompanied by a further document which establishes the address of
the holder in the constituency or electoral area.

6. Activity at polling stations

All political activity is prohibited in the vicinity of polling stations for the duration of the poll and for
half an hour before and after the poll. The prohibition applies to loitering, congregating, canvassing
in any form, display or distribution of posters, notices, cards or any other documents relating to the
election and the use of loudspeakers or any public address system. The prohibition will apply in
relation to the grounds in which the polling station is situated and within 50 metres of any entrance to
the grounds.

7. Counting of votes
After the close of the polls the ballot boxes used at each polling station containing the ballot papers
for the European election, city/county council elections and bye-elections in Dublin Central and
Dublin South will be conveyed to a counting centre for the constituency concerned. At 9 a.m. on
Saturday 6th June, the Local Returning Officer will open all the ballot boxes for their constituency,
segregate the various ballot papers and verify the ballot paper accounts (i.e. compare the number of
ballot papers for each poll found in each box with the relevant account for each poll furnished by the
presiding officer). A list of the count centres where verification and segregation of the ballot papers
at the European elections, city/county council elections and the bye-elections will take place is set
out in Appendix B.

The Returning Officers for the Dáil constituencies of Dublin Central and Dublin South will count the
votes cast at those elections at the count centres set out in Appendix D.

Local Returning Officers will be responsible for packing and for delivering the European ballot
papers to the relevant returning officer for the constituency. Counting of the European Parliament
votes will begin at 9 a.m. on Sunday 7th June.

A list of the centres where the counting of votes at the European elections will take place is set out in
