Things to remember when going voting
F
Firstly, make sure you know where you’re voting. This information will be printed on your polling card. You should also plan when you’re going to vote. The polls are open from 7am to 10pm so you have 15 hours to work with.
Leave your badges, signs and jumpers at home. Campaigning is not permitted at polling stations. This applies to posters, leaflets, flags, banners and anything that encourages a vote for one side over the other. If you arrive wearing something that promotes one side over the other, you may be asked to remove it.
Don’t take a selfie or any photograph in the voting booth. Voting is done by secret ballot and the Department of the Environment says that: “taking photographs and the sharing of any photograph of a ballot paper marked at an election or a referendum could have the potential to compromise the integrity and secrecy of a ballot and may constitute an offence”. You can take a photo outside the polling station either before or after you've voted, but not inside.
Don’t forget your polling card or other form of official identification. You should have received a polling card but you don't need it to vote. You must bring a valid form of personal identification, such as a passport, official student identification or driving licence, with you when you go to vote.
Read the question being asked in the ballot very carefully and mark your answer with an 'X'. You should mark ‘X’ in either the ‘yes’ or the ‘no’ box on the paper, then show the back of the ballot paper to the polling officials, fold it and place it in a sealed ballot box. Any other mark will spoil your vote.
For voters with disabilities, if you are voting at a polling station, you may be helped to vote by utilising companion voting, assistance from the presiding officer or by using a tactile ballot paper template.
