Delivery of voting documents by police officers

Wednesday, 24 April 2024, 15:45 Last update: about 11 days ago

The Electoral Commission said Wednesday that those persons whose name appears in the Electoral Register published on 20 April, 2024, subject to additions, deletions and corrections ordered by the Revising Officer, will have their voting documents delivered by the Police daily from Saturday 27 April until Friday 10 or Saturday 11 May, 2024, according to electoral districts, between 8am and 1pm and 3pm and 9pm.

The Electoral Commission notifies that voting documents shall be delivered only at the address where the voter is registered.  This means it is necessary that at the place of residence there shall be a responsible person over 16 years of age who is a relative, and/or resides or works thereat to receive the voting document/s. 

Persons receiving the voting document/s will be asked to confirm receipt of the documents by signing on a mobile device provided by the Police Officer, instead of on a register as used to be done previously.

The Electoral law permits political party representatives to accompany the police officer during the delivery.  These representatives are supplied with an authorization tag issued by the Electoral Commission, to be shown on demand.

Voting documents should be kept in a safe place, as nobody will be allowed to vote without them on polling day, the commission said.

Nomination of Assistant Commissioners and other categories

The Electoral Commission notifies independent candidates and registered political parties contesting the European Parliament and Local Council elections that they may submit to the Electoral Commission lists and application forms of persons they wish to nominate to serve as Assistant Electoral Commissioners, counting staff and Party Agents up to no later than 7.00 p.m. of Saturday, 27th April, 2024.
