EU elections
Welcome to CandidateWatch Ireland
CandidateWatch Ireland allowed you to question all Irish candidates in the European Elections 2009. Now that the European elections are over, candidatewatch.ie would like to thank all the voters who submitted questions, and the candidates who responded. Although the question facility was closed on the eve of polling, candidates will retain the option of responding to outstanding questions.

Over 142,000 of you have visited the site since our launch on May 5th. The bank of questions and answers now constitutes a ‘voters’ memory’ which you can consult to see how the parliamentary performance of those elected matches up to the views they expressed as candidates.

We will be assessing the project during the coming months, and will keep you posted here on any plans for the future.

Polling

Polling in the Local and European Elections, and in the two by-elections, will take place Friday, June 5th.

Polling stations will be open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. If your name is on the electoral register but you have not received a polling card, you can still cast your vote: just go down to your local polling station, making sure to bring a valid form of identification, such as a passport, driving license or birth certificate.
