Secure absent vote entitlement before Valentines Day

Councillor Seán Begley, the Sinn Féin Director of Elections in West Tyrone, has called on every registered voter who will be unable to make it to the polling station in person on Wednesday 7th March to ensure that they secure their vote by applying for a proxy or postal vote before Valentines Day, Thursday 14th February.

He said,
“From Thursday the 1st February until the 14th February (Valentines Day) anyone who will not be able to vote in person on Election Day March 7th should apply for either a postal or proxy vote. “This includes people who are housebound due to illness, students who are away at University, people who work away from home or people who will be on holidays at this time.

“Postal and proxy registration forms can be downloaded from the Electoral Office Website: www.electoralofficeni.gov.uk or your local Sinn Féin Office.
