A caution for anyone in Ireland with a Seanad vote who has moved house - I updated my address on the normal election register and my polling card for the General Election went there but the Seanad address list must be separate as my ballot paper arrived at the parental home. Thankfully am there to pick up, deadline is 29th Jan.

Next steps! Please consider getting involved in tenants/workers unions and in community groups, especially if you're also a young person.
Change is about more than voting once every 5 years; it is something we must all collectively fight for day-to-day!

I'm so grateful to all who gave me a vote and who supported me in any way over the past few weeks and months!
The momentum continues to grow from the locals, with double the votes in half the time canvassing, and I'm proud of how the campaign went!

Miriam incredulous about the lower turnout. ‘But but but loads of people watched our glorious RTE debates… does not compute …’ #ge24 #ge2024 #irishelection

It's Christmas Day for election nerds in Ireland today. Forget hurling, forget Gaelic football, our national sport is Proportional Representation - Single Transferrable Vote (PR-STV), and today we're about to witness it in all its glorious beauty!
There will be tallies, there will be spreadsheets, there will be speculation and analysis, and eventually, there will be people elected to Dáil Éireann. There is no greater spectacle in global democracy!
30 minutes to vote for all those who like that sort of pressure when casting thier ballots.
Just voted. Shortage of good candidates here in South Tipp.

All of the Irish mastodon people are preparing diligently for the general election tomorrow, with all of their preferences worked out 15 names down the ballot, and due attention given to web policy matching tools and manifestos skimmed, etc.
In other words, this is the most untypical group of Irish people imaginable. 
Happy voting tomorrow!

I highly recommend a bit of preparation before you go and vote tomorrow.
There will undoubtedly be candidates on your ballot that you won't know anything about.
Check them all out before you go and make a plan for how you're going to vote.
You don't need to vote all the way down the ballot but voting at least half way down will give you the best chance of having your vote counted.
You can check out your candidates here:

I thought I knew who would be on Friday’s ballot paper from looking at posters on poles, and from leaflets through the letterbox (only one candidate has turned up in person). But using #WhichCandidate I realised about a 1/3 of the candidates in my constituency are unpreferrable to me in every way, and about 3 or 4 were unknown to me. WhichCandidate helped me make a plan for Friday #IrePol #IrishPol #GE2024 #DBN #Mastodaoine #GE24 #IrelandVotes
