Spotted a mistake on http://www.boards.ie/vote? Let us know here

lucernarian

I came here to point out that much of the "Louth" constituency boundary needs to be redrawn as it's taken in a chunk of Meath East now. I spotted that it's been mentioned here last night but I'd thought I'd bring it up again anyway. A lot of people in Meath East will only be aware of the changes when they go there to vote and see lots of new faces to vote for.


http://www.constituency-commission.ie/docs/con2007.pdf

All of the Meath coast except for a tiny strip of Gormanston just to the north of Dublin North is now in Louth constituency. The map is contained in the above document.

Robert Connolly (Dublin Mid West) and Mick Barry (Cork North Central) are both listed as Independents despite the fact they're in the Socialist Party. Mick Murphy (Dublin South West, Socialist Party) is listed as Mike Murphy.

Mick Murphy is also listed as an independent when it should be Socialist Party.

In Laois-Offaly - Ray Fitzpatrick is running for the Socialist Party - not 'independent'

In Dublin Central - Malachy Steenson is running for the Workers Party - not 'independent'

found a bit of a glaring mistake alright

it says clare daly is leading the poll in dublin north, cant be right

TheQ47

As a few have already mentioned, in Sligo-North Leitrim, Veronica Cawley is running as Independent Labour, and just announced yesterday, another independent, Dick Cahill.

Sponge Bob

No such thing as Independent Labour or Independent FF, these are mé féin bog standard Independents eg Mattie in Tipp or anything called Blaney.

Thanks, Sponge Bob, I know that
However, that's what she's calling herself. I realise she's independent, even though she was on the labour party until about 1week ago, and if (that's a very big if by the way) she got elected she'd immediately go back into the Labour fold.

In Cork South West, Jennifer Sleaman is no longer a candidate for the Green Party and has been replaced.

Not a mistake as such but Mick Wallace needs to be added to the list in Wexford guys.

THE GREEN Party candidate who led a one-day boycott of Mass was forced to withdraw from the race because she is not an Irish citizen.
Jennifer Sleeman (81) was unveiled as the candidate in Cork South West last week.
The environmentalist said that she was somewhat relieved but feels she has let down the party.

Expect a new candidate shortly.

Is there any reason why the ULA candidates don't have profile pictures in this poll?

Hi, because we take this information from the database that TheJournal.ie are putting together, it may simply be that we haven't been supplied with a photo yet.

John McGuirke is running as an independent in Cavan Monaghan

click_here!!!

IN Galway East:

1) There are no Green candidates, is this true?

2) Paul Connaughton Jr.'s website link isn't working, and is the same link as his father's, who is a former politician in that constituency.

Also, if possible, I hope you will use proper statistical techniques, like calculating a confidence interval or correcting for the different demographics of boards.ie users compared to voters in general.

If you are using the m.boards.ie site then it is probably linking you through to m.boards.ie/vote which doesn't exist. It should still work if you change it url to boards.ie/vote

Patch123

When I log in to vote I can't select any candidates - they will not 'select' for me when I click on them. Is it because I have posted less than 25 posts? if so I feel disenfranchised! Maybe I'm missing something obvious though...

Darragh

You are clicking on the green "Select" button under them, are you?

There's more details over on http://www.boards.ie/vote/help.php

But you'll see the select button () under the photos, like below:



When you do this, they'll move into the right column like this:



and then when you're happy with your vote, click "Vote Here"



Hope that helps!

Is it because they're in the PBP also!

What's the story with the candidates from United Left Alliance, Socialist Working Party and People Before Profit?

Can a candidate be in three parties? it's very confusing!

Cavehill Red

No Clement Esebamen listed in Dublin Mid West.
He's running as an independent.

I used to feel the same way when learning about 'The Trinity' in religious knowledge classes at school.


Eventually came to the conclusion it was all a con. Oh! Is that 'libelous blasphemy'?

Only if you think RBB is God.

There is only one candidate listed for dublin central by the green party but there are two listed in ye're poll.

People before Profit is an alliance between the Socialist Workers Party and local campaign groups. The United Left Alliance is a electoral alliance between the PbP alliance, the Socialist Party and the Workers and Unemployed Action Group.

Dublin Central

Malachy Steenson is listed as Ind.

He is in fact The Workers Party same as in 2007. Have his election leaflet that was put through my door.

General:
* Is there a means of recording / showing the number of tweets?
* Not all pages are showing "Undecided:" and "Spoiled Votes:". This may be because the current value is zero. It might be useful to include them, even if the value is zero.
* On the "Party 1st Preferences", numbers should preferably be right justified or right indented. Numbers should all show the same number of decimal places, e.g here, the 6% should display as 6.0% - putting the decimal points over one another makes it easier to compare numbers. See attachemnt.

#  	Party Name  	Votes  	Support

IND Jonathon Rainey is actually running in Cavan/Monaghan - not in Carlow/Kilkenny as the sim has him down for...

Darragh

Thansk all. All omissions and errors have been passed on to the team and hopefully tomorrow's update will fix them.

I'll post back here when it's done.

amen

The latest national results shows others at about 16%. Clicking show more results shows Independants at 14.3%.

I really think others on the National Results should independants at the 14.3 % and do not include the total from other parties.

There is a difference between small parties and independants.

TO_ARTHUR!

Independent Frank Godfrey isn't running in Louth.

The Christian Solidarity folks have published a list of candidates which you might want to add to the constituencies. Never heard of them before, they look like a single issue party.

Not a mistake per se, but it looks like the voting for Dublin South-East has been hijacked by Dylan Haskins' supporters- he's topping the polls. I have no issue with him, but it seems strange that he jumped from bottom of the list on Friday to top today.

Darragh

Hi Chandira, we've been scrutinising voting patterns, email addresses and new registrations closely and we're satisfied there's nothing dodgy going on save perhaps some good old fashioned campaigning...

Darragh

Hi all,

Thank you so much for your emails and posts here to let us know about errors or omissions in the candidate list.

We'll be updating today and I'll drop a post back here when it's done - your help is very much appreciated.

You have a candidate down as the Carlow/Kilkenny constituency, when he's actually Cavan/Monaghan - Jonathan Rainey.

Can someone tell me how many new posters registered just to vote in this poll. I think all votes by persons registering on or after the 03 Feb 2011 or with 0 posts if registered prior to then should be discarded.

Any chance of a heads up of what has happened since the poll opened Darragh....one would not want to be a conduit for <cough> mischief
