High turnout has been reported in many parts of the country as voting continues to elect the 33rd Dáil. Turnout was as high as 62 per cent in some areas by 5pm as voters cast their ballots on a Saturday for the first time in the history of the State. In parts of Dublin North, turnout by 5pm was almost 51 per cent. Almost 46 per cent had cast their votes at Ringsend National School, with the same figure at Sandymount’s Scoil Mhuire. The Irish Times will publish an exit poll as soon as voting ends at 10pm, giving the first indication of the outcome of General Election 2020.
