I previously posted about the importance of registering to vote, with some figures intending to show that individual votes can make the difference between one government and another.

So here is a new printable voter registration form, reformatted for those of us who use A4 paper.

I took us on a little tour of the Irish PR system, explaining why your fourth and fifth preferences can make the difference between success or failure for a candidate. And I gave a link to a printable version of the Irish voter registration form. […]
