Ireland goes to the polls

On the 4th of October 2013 there is a referendum vote here in Ireland.

We vote on whether to abolish our second house of government the Senate (Seanad).  The second referendum is whether to create a Court of Appeal.



Outside what I would have called the polling station but are now called polling places in some areas with signs saying "Polling Place Ionad Votala"

Our "Polling Station" in the Multi-Denominational School in Ranelagh
Above is the "Polling Place" in Ballsbridge

We did not receive Voting Cards but received this letter instead. Voting stations are open from 7am until 10pm.
