    Looking for clear advice on this.

    If there was a particular candidate in Dublin Fingal that I absolutely do not want to be elected, should I mark them 16th preference on the ballot or just stop at 15 and not give them anything.

    Also if someone can explain why that would be much appreciated!!

    Draw a big mickey on the forehead of their picture on the ballot. They definitely wont get elected then.

    There is a thread on this already but if you dont want a particular candidate to get your vote at all then dont put a number next to their name.

    The very last preference on a fully filled ballot cannot become effective anyway.

    Vote in order of how much to how little you want someone to get in; then end when you absolutely hate them all equally.
