Polling Card Not Needed To Cast Vote - SF
Following concerns that some people had not received their polling cards, Sinn Féin have told voters that they do need a polling card to vote in the local and European elections on Thursday.
The party said it was responding to concerns of some constituents that while some had received cards, others had not.
The party's Erne West candidate Leanne Maguire said: "I would like to reassure people that these cards are for information purposes only and for speeding up the process of identification at polling stations, you do not need a polling card to vote.
"People without cards should attend their polling stations with proof of their identity where they will be able to cast their vote."
