Responsibility for the security and safe storage of manual voting equipment (such as ballot boxes, stamping instruments, and stationery) is a matter for returning officers, who are statutorily responsible for conducting the polls. Accordingly, similar responsibility was assigned to them in relation to the storage of the electronic voting equipment.

The electronic voting equipment (including ancillary equipment) from Dublin City, Dublin County and Wicklow is now stored at centralised premises in Gormanston; information provided by returning officers in respect of storage of the balance of electronic voting equipment is set out in the following table.
