With respect to the marked register, that tool is used locally and within the context of local election campaigns, not something that is used centrally.

With respect to the Dublin Bay South election, the value of the marked register is that it is an aid to assist in improving turnout. One of the reasons, I understand, that political parties, Independents and candidates have access to the marked register as well as the register is to try to ensure we get the maximum number of people voting in the election, which is obviously something we all want to see in any democracy.
