On the issue of registering to vote, I came across a situation where somebody in a new housing estate had tried to register and did not have an eircode issued to them yet. Is that a problem in trying to register? It is not. Is there a section to put in your eircode? There is, but you do not necessarily have to have that. It is not compulsory to fill in an eircode, or is it?
