Ireland votes tomorrow in a general election using a unique voting system to elect 174 representatives.

Ireland holds its general election on November 29th, where voters will choose 174 representatives to form the next government. The election uses a unique voting system called Proportional Representation with a Single Transferable Vote (PR-STV), allowing voters to rank candidates by preference. Polling stations will be open from 7 am to 10 pm. Voters can check their registration status and find their polling station using their name, address, or Eircode. On election day, they must present their name and address and may be asked for identification. The system transfers votes to lower preferences as needed, ensuring a more representative outcome.
