How far away is your polling center?

Neamhshuntasach

I have one about 5 minutes that i've always voted in but for some reason this year they are sending us 40 minutes away. Stupid fúcks. Loads of people in my area don't drive and i doubt they are gonna take 2 buses to the place.

Danbo!

Do you really care how far away my polling centre is?

I was going to vote tomorrow but because of you wasting my time with this thread, I'm not voting now.


So I guess you'll never know have far it is.

That's cos they know that you're going to vote "No", and are making it as difficult as possible, short of bundling you into the back of a van until polling's finished.

I would be interested to see how your area voted the last time out when they make a change like that.

Keep that in mind on your way to cast your ballot.

I won't be voting. Thought that was the point of my post, despite forgetting what day it was. Suppose that what you get for having a busy week.

Our voting cards are CONSTANTLY ballsed up. A few years ago we were being told to go to Navan, about 25 minutes away. We made numerous phonecalls to try and sort it out and then for the last Lisbon referrendum we were sent 40 minutes away!! This time we're being sent about 15 minutes drive away, even though there are two polling stations within 5 minutes of our house. Feckers :mad:

Well if things werent the way they were I'd be joking this, but in actual fact perhaps its because your area voted a lot of NO in the last referendum so they are making sure you cant get to the polls to fudge it up for them. Vote however you like but democracy should not be run like that.

I will be commuting to Vote though, and for Pints afterwards.

give or take a couple of km ...around the same distance - Dublin-Cork

plan on commuting to vote ...might take the weekend off and chill out.

would be interesting to see how many voting centers have been "moved" and how many were in previous yes/no camps....especially in rural areas.

Possibly. I'm from a working class area in Finglas. They are sending me to a rugby club or something in Swords.

What the heck?? Are you serious?? I still vote in Blanchardstown... (my parents house) but live in Finglas... do they really expect people from here to travel to Swords to vote? Well... I suppose not if that's the way they're playing it!
