The 2024 general election in Ireland has commenced with Fianna Fáil holding a slight lead in the latest polls. Voting day started early at 7 AM and will conclude at 10 PM with the release of an exit poll. Voters are casting their ballots amid a surge in late voter registrations, adding to the unpredictability of the election outcome.

The 2024 general election is underway with Fianna Fáil holding a narrow lead according to the final polls

While we might be in the calm before the political storm right now, things will change at 10pm when the first results of an Irish Times/RTÉ/TG4/TCD exit poll conducted by Ipsos B&A will be released. That might give us an early and very tentative sign as to what will happen next and who will form the next government.

Almost 3.7 million people will be eligible to vote. That is up 423,000 voters since the 2020 election with over 100,000 new registrations in the two weeks before the closing deadline. Once the clock strikes 10pm, the ballot boxes will be sealed and securely transported to the 32 count centres where they will say until 9am tomorrow when the magic - and the madness - of an Irish election count will get underway in earnest.
