TDs and senators have been told they will not be able to vote in Leinster House for the forthcoming Seanad election. Members of the Oireachtas generally cast their votes in front of an authorised officer in a room within Leinster House. However, due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus, Oireachtas officials have asked TDs and senators to cast their vote in their closest local authority. TDs and senators have been given a timetable for when they can cast their votes in their local city or county council. Votes will be counted as usual in Leinster House on March 30.
