Voting on the island of Inishfree on Monday. Niall Carson/PA Wire

Poll: Do you intend to vote today in the referendum?

Voting turnout for referendums is traditionally lower than for general elections. Do you plan to cast a vote today?

POLLING STATIONS FOR the referendum vote are open from 7am to 10pm today.

With a bitterly-fought campaign between the ‘Yes’ and ‘No’ campaigns now over, there are fears that voters may have been put off by the legalese, jargon and political point-scoring and that the turnout at the polls will be low.

(We tried to cut through the hyperbole to have your questions about the nitty gritty of the Fiscal Compact answered here.)

We’d like to know: Are you planning to vote today?


Poll Results:

I am going to vote today (4029)
I'm not going to vote today (900)
I don't know yet whether I will cast a vote (373)

Note: Later this evening, we will be posting another poll to ask people to tell us which way they voted (if they voted).

    What they don’t look at in these stats is that for a lot of online deals sites such as Groupon, you have to enter an email address just to get on to the website and see the deals – while it’s still a ‘signup’, it might not have the same level of purchasing intent.

    visit http://www.mydealpage.ie – it gives an instant overview of all the deals sites. Or if you do decide to sign up with your email address you’ll get just one daily email with all the deals!

    Fatcheese is the business. The ‘deals’ sites are pretty shite unless youre a woman, they are heavily loaded with beauticians & hairdressers etc. very little for men on them.
