    I'm on the register but still haven't received my polling card. iirc though you can go to the polling station with a passport or driving licence and as long as you are on the list you will be allowed vote.

    but is it enforced, policed, whats the punishment? Im convinced that this practice must be rampant if I managed to get two cards without even trying?

    So if you got two polling cards for different addresses, you could in theory present yourself at two different polling stations, vote away and nobody would be the wiser! I wonder what the punishment is.

    Polling cards arrived in sorting offices only last week and An Post have until Thursday to deliver them all, serious issues in presentation to An Post probably delayed delivery....

    I couldn't find myself on that website and my card came during the week. I'd say chance going down with your passport.

    Yeah that's correct. As long as your name is on the register the polling officer is looking at, you can vote with photo ID, although I think they want to see a driver's license or passport.

    It seems whoever compiles these registers has trouble spelling. Turned out my name was on it, just spelled incorrectly.

    Like others have said, best to go down with photo ID as chances are, you are on it somewhere.

    Oh, and I eventually got my polling card yesterday!
