Today is deadline for the postal vote. It is open to those whose occupations prevent them from voting at their local polling station on election day or because of a physical illness or disability.
Those who cannot get out to vote because of illness or physical disability need the PV1 form, while those whose occupations are likely to prevent them from voting at their local polling station need the PV2 form.
Labour city councillor Niall McNelis is calling on people to “check with families, friends and relatives who may be abroad due to work commitments, to acquire a PV2 form which requires their employer’s signature for completion.”
The PV2 form can be downloaded from http://www.labour.ie/download/pdf/pvs2_english_2011_2012__form_supp1_pdf.pdf
