11 candidates, 4 gardaí, 4 polling clerks, 1 returning officer and 1 presiding officer made up our election cast. Polling clerks manned the tables for voting by 5th and 6th class boys, checking their polling cards and IDs off against the register. The presiding officer oversaw everything in the polling room and Barry Ward even came in to talk about how the election and system of proportional representation work.
After the votes were checked, and one invalid paper excluded, there were 50 valid votes. The quota was worked out as 11 and all the candidates watched as votes were counted and checked. Congratulations to everyone involved and we hope the boys enjoy exercising their right to vote after they turn 18!
