FREE SEX! Now that we've got your attention, vote for JOE.
OK, so we're not actually putting ourselves forward as a candidate, and there actually isn't any free sex to be had, but elections
are coming up once again.
They seem to fly around, don’t they? Despite our best efforts, and thinking, “I really must register for the next one”, it’s all too easy to forget to stick your name down on the voters’ register.
Trust us, by becoming a registered voter, you'll be able to make sure that guys like Mayor Quimby never get into/definitely get into public office. Whatever tickles your voting fancy really...

The elections are taking place on May 23
rd and to be eligible to vote you
must register by May 6
th. That gives you just one month to see if you’re on the register and get your name down. That may sound like you've a lot of time but be realistic, after the last election (2011) you
probably DEFINITELY told yourself that you had a lot of time.
Three years later, you’ve only a month left. Time to take action slowpants...
This year’s elections are pretty important – the local and the European elections. Basically, we’ll be electing people to represent us in our villages, towns and counties; as well as representing all of Ireland in Europe. Certainly not a decision we’ll want to undertake lightly.
If you’re feeling lazy and thinking “Oh, I’ll do it next time” don’t complain in a few months about the state of affairs in your local community or at a EU level – this is your chance to have your say. If you vote and things go a bit haywire then, by all means, complain til your heart’s content.
It's so simple to get registered; all you have to do is click on
checktheregister.ie to see if your name is down on the list and check out
SpunOut.ie’s voting content for all the advice you may or may not need.
