Nation's favourite cattle breed to be voted on at Ploughing

An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland’s independent electoral commission, will be registering new voters and helping others to update their details at this year’s National Ploughing Championships in Screggan, Tullamore, Co. Offaly.

Whether the hornless Aberdeen Angus, the beefy Charolais, the hairy Highland cow, the French Limousin, the more refined Wagyu or some udder candidate, visitors to An Coimisiún’s stand will also get the opportunity to practice PR-STV voting in the Great Bovine Ballot to decide which cattle breed is the nation’s favourite.

Your Vote is Your Vote, so make sure it’s herd in this high-steaks election by mooving over to the An Coimisiún Toghcháin stand (Stand 136, Row 7, Block 3. Right opposite NPA headquarters) and casting your PR_STV ballot correctly for the candidates who are most outstanding in their field.

Yellow t-shirted electoral commission team with ipads will also be ensuring people cast their PR-STV votes correctly, are registered to vote in Ireland’s other elections and have their details correct on Ireland’s electoral register. Other activities will also include a Country and Western themed Karaoke, a spin the wheel quiz, and “I’m a voter” give aways.

During the Ploughing from Tuesday to Thursay the An Coimisiún Toghcháin Stand 136, Row 7, Block 3, right opposite the NPA headquarters.
