Tomorrow is the last day to register for a postal vote

A Special Voters list is prepared every year as part of the Register of Electors process. Those eligible to apply for special voter status are:

– Persons living at home who are unable to go to a polling station to vote because of a physical illness or physical disability. Form PV1

– Persons whose occupations are likely to prevent them from voting at their local polling station on election day. Form PV2.

The latest date for receipt of applications is two days after the date of dissolution of the Dáil in the case of a general election.

As the Dáil has been dissolved today, Thursday is the last day to apply for the Postal Vote.

I would be encouraging people to check with families, friends and relatives who may be abroad due to work commitments, to acquire a PV2 form which requires their employer’s signature for completion.

50 Days to Change Ireland: It’s Time to Take Our Country Back

 

At last we know. The Election will be held on Friday 11th March – 50 days from today.

 

Now its up to us. We have 50 days to bring real change to our country. To elect a Government that will go to work on behalf of the Irish people.

Ireland has many difficulties, but our capacities are far greater than our problems. This is a great country, and our people are more than equal to the task we face.

Of building a better future for our children. Of ensuring that our best days are still to come.

From today, we have 50 days to make sure that the energy and commitment and patriotism and sheer gut decency of the Irish people, can be unleashed again.

We have 50 days to rid ourselves of cronyism and insider Government. We have 50 days to elect a Government that will go to work every day to create jobs and build a sustainable economic recovery.

We have 50 days to do what has never been done before – to elect a Labour-led Government. A Government that is driven by the concerns of the many, not the insider-few.

In Dublin West, Joan Burton TD will be fighting to deliver a seat for the Labour Party and a real chance of electing Eamon Gilmore as Taoiseach.

We have 50 days to bring about real change.

Its time to take our country back.

Today we begin to part with the past and to forge the future.

We urge the public to join with us in these efforts.
