A major national education and awareness campaign on the use of electronic voting and counting at the forthcoming European and local elections was launched on 4 February 2004. The campaign includes: TV, radio and press advertising; an electronic voting website; the provision of a lo-call information line; a mailshot to every household in the country; and a nationwide roadshow which will allow voters to see and practice on the voting machine. This roadshow will include visits to the Dublin area. The campaign will also seek to raise awareness of the elections and to encourage people to vote.
