I got loads just today! And one canvasser yesterday.

electionlit.bsky.social•94 days ago

Didn't get any post today!

accidentalenzo.bsky.social•94 days ago

I've received three out of around 20 candidates so far

sharrow.bsky.social•95 days ago

A bunch more arrived with the polling cards

electionlit.bsky.social•95 days ago

Great, yet to get the polling cards. Hopefully they arrive today

johnbarrington.bsky.social•95 days ago

I’ve got them from all the low life ones. Plus a single one covering three FG candidates

electionlit.bsky.social•95 days ago

Must be slow here.

johnbarrington.bsky.social•95 days ago

From memory there’s a protocol/ service level agreement for delivery not less than 5 days before poll. That said some candidates are slow to provide on time.

I'm in CSC. Have 2 leaflets and had one canvasser (who came before the election was called). Really different even to the locals.

A party running in all 43 would have 2.3m cards to get printed. The delay in officially calling the date has put severe pressure on the deadlines. The government parties obviously had an advantage here. An independent is going to struggle to find a printer at the last minute who is not busy already

I got one from a local councillor who is running and one from a a TD whose wife was incredibly nasty to me 😂They are also the only two posters up in my road.

damotape.bsky.social•94 days ago

Got one from SF today with only two out of their three candidates included 😬

markmaguireb.bsky.social•95 days ago

None. Not one. I forgot to check the register and because of your post, I did just now. I’m on it 😮‍💨but Jaysus, the energy is way off for this election, never mind ‘new.’

electionlit.bsky.social•95 days ago

Yeah, I work from home, so have had a few canvassers. The party machines aren't what they used to be.

mickmuldoon.bsky.social•95 days ago

Very few. No polling cards either.

littlecassreads.bsky.social•95 days ago

We’ve received almost none in Dublin South West. Only FG so far. Very odd. And no polling cards yet!

electionlit.bsky.social•95 days ago

I'm Dublin SW too. No polling cards either

missusvee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Off the top of your head, do you know if Kimmage Road West is in Dublin SW? I'm getting different answers. Even some of the candidates don't seem to know! Thank you.

dotskyy.bsky.social•94 days ago

It used to be DSC but that's ages ago.

missusvee.bsky.social•94 days ago

I think it's still there but a colleague showed me a letter from SDCC saying she was in Dublin MW. But that's MILES away.

dotskyy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Walkinstown roundabout which is very close looks like it borders a new chunk of DMW but resolution of map not great.

dotskyy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Actually looks like it might be the new boundary between the two

missusvee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Do you have the link to that page, please? I can hardly see it! I thought it ran between South Central and South West.

damotape.bsky.social•94 days ago

North side of the road is DSC, south side is DSW

missusvee.bsky.social•94 days ago

Thank you. That's what I thought but the letter my colleague received from SDCC (in an addressed envelope) was "clarifying" that she was now in Dublin MW. I think someone bunged the wrong letters in the envelopes.

mnicearbhaill.bsky.social•94 days ago

use https://www.electoralcommission.ie/what-constituency-am-i-in/ - might help

dotskyy.bsky.social•94 days ago

Yep, that confirms it's the border.
Was the border between City and County a long time ago

mnicearbhaill.bsky.social•94 days ago

See I would have assume it was all Dublin South Central where I am but best to check.

bloomfield.co•94 days ago

I'm Dublin SW, and got all of these and polling cards on Friday. Hopefully yours will come very soon.

kevvikevs.bsky.social•95 days ago

I've only had a couple as well. And just a half a dozen leaflets and no canvassers. I'll have no idea who to vote for!

n0tabot.bsky.social•95 days ago

Guessing you are joking but there’s always

angelaholohan.bsky.social•95 days ago

Our postman is laden down with them and post arriving about 3 hours later than usual.

andyd10.bsky.social•95 days ago

I got a load of them yesterday. It was all the racists and weirdos this time. Hopefully that's the end of it.

cianduffy.bsky.social•95 days ago

I've had FF, FG, Labour, SF, Green and Aontu. Not expecting any from anyone else except maybe PBP and one wealthy nutcase - they aren't particularly cheap to arrange!
