Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 13 November 2012
456. Deputy Brendan Griffin asked the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government his views on voting (details supplied) in County Kerry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [49813/12]
View answerWhile electoral law is subject to ongoing review, I have no proposals at present to change the requirement whereby a person entitled to vote at an election or referendum may only do so in person at the polling station allotted to him or her in the constituency where he or she is registered.
Exceptions to this rule are provided in electoral law for postal and special voters, persons working at elections and persons who satisfy the returning officer that they are unable to vote at their polling station because of physical illness or disability.
