A. CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISIONS

ARTICLE 18

‘‘4. The elected members of Seanad E´ ireann shall be elected as follows:—

i. Three shall be elected by the National University of Ireland.

ii. Three shall be elected by the University of Dublin.

iii. Forty-three shall be elected from panels of candidates constituted as hereinafter provided.

5. Every election of the elected members of Seanad E´ ireann shall be held on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote, and by secret postal ballot.

6. The members of Seanad E´ ireann to be elected by the Universities shall be elected on a franchise and in the manner to be provided by law.

7. 1° Before each general election of the members of Seanad E´ ireann to be elected from panels of candidates, five panels of candidates shall be formed in the manner provided by law containing respectively the names of persons having knowledge and practical experience of the following interests and services, namely:—

i. National Language and Culture, Literature, Art, Education and such professional interests as may be defined by law for the purpose of this panel;

ii. Agriculture and allied interests, and Fisheries;

iii. Labour, whether organised or unorganised;

iv. Industry and Commerce, including banking, finance, accountancy, engineering and architecture;

v. Public Administration and social services, including voluntary social activities.

2° Not more than eleven and, subject to the provisions of Article 19 hereof, not less than five members of Seanad E´ ireann shall be elected from any one panel.’’

The professional interests referred to in Article 18.7.1° have been defined by section 3(2) of the Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) Act, 1947 as—

(a) law, and

(b) medicine, including surgery, dentistry, veterinary medicine, and pharmaceutical chemistry.

B. ELECTION FOR PANEL MEMBERS

Provision is made by the Act of 1947 for the formation of the following panels of candidates in accordance with Article 18.7.1° of the Constitution:—

(1) Cultural and Educational,

(2) Agricultural,

(3) Labour,

(4) Industrial and Commercial, and

(5) Administrative.

The Act also provides for the division of each panel into two sub-panels — (i) the nominating bodies sub- panel and (ii) the Oireachtas sub-panel; and for the election of Members from the panels and sub-panels as follows:—

Cultural and Educational 5, two at least to be elected from each sub-panel.

4 Agricultural 11, four at least to be elected from each sub-panel.

Labour 11, four at least to be elected from each sub-panel.

Industrial and Commercial 9, three at least to be elected from each sub-panel.

Administrative 7, three at least to be elected from each sub-panel.

Nomination of Candidates Candidates may be nominated either to a (1) provisional nominating bodies sub-panel or (2) provisional Oireachtas sub-panel. After the closing date for nominations the Seanad Returning Officer sits with a judicial referee at the completion of the panels for the purpose of determining that the persons nominated have the requisite qualifications and that the nominations are otherwise in order (see sections 38 to 43 inclusive of the Act of 1947 as amended by the Seanad Electoral (Panel Members) Act, 1954). The five panels of candidates as prepared by the Seanad Returning Officer are then published in the ‘‘Iris Oifigiu´il’’.

The five panels of candidates as published for the 2007 general election are set out on pages 55 to 67.

Nominations to Provisional Nominating Bodies Sub-Panel Candidates may be nominated by the nominating bodies whose names appear on the Register of Nomin- ating Bodies prepared under the Acts, revised in January-March each year and published in the ‘‘Iris Oifigi- u´il’’. The register applicable to the 2007 General Election is reproduced on pages 51 to 54.

To ascertain how many candidates a nominating body may nominate the following numbers are divided by the number of nominating bodies registered for the particular panel and the answer, as rounded up if necessary to the nearest whole number, is the number who may be nominated—

Cultural and Educational … 6 Agricultural … … … 14 Labour ………… 14 Industrial and Commercial … 12 Administrative … … … 8

The numbers set out are, in each case, twice the maximum number of members who may be elected from a sub-panel.

From the following table it will be seen that the maximum number of candidates that could be nominated by nominating bodies for the July, 2007 election was 125.

Number of Number of Panel bodies persons each Maximum registered body entitled to number nominate

Cultural and Educational 32 1 32

Agricultural … … … 11 2 22

Labour … … … 2 7 14

Industrial and Commercial … … 43 1 43

Administrative … … 14 1 14

TOTAL 102 125

Nominations to Provisional Oireachtas Sub-Panel Four members of the Houses of the Oireachtas, viz. the newly-elected Da´il and the outgoing Seanad, are required to nominate a candidate to any panel.

The maximum number of candidates who could be nominated for the 2007 election by the members of the Houses of the Oireachtas was, therefore, 54, that is, 166+50 (216) divided by 4.

5 Electorate A complete list of the electorate is published in the ‘‘Iris Oifigiu´il’’ shortly after the re-assembly of Da´il E´ ireann. The electorate consists of the members of the new Da´il, the outgoing Seanad and every council of a county or of a county borough. Each name can be entered only once on the electoral roll.

The electorate for the Seanad General Election 2007 amounted to 1,096. The political party affiliations (i.e. party registered under the Electoral Act 1963) of the electorate (including others) is estimated as follows:—

Fianna Fa´il…………406 Fine Gael …………353 Labour …………125 Ind……………100 Sinn Fe´in………… 58 Progressive Democrats … … 26 Green Party ………… 24 Socialist Party … … … 4 Workers’ Party … … … 2 South Kerry Independent Alliance 1

Nominations by the Taoiseach to Provisional Sub-Panels of Candidates If the number of persons on any provisional sub-panel does not exceed by at least two the maximum number of members permitted to be elected therefrom, the Taoiseach is required to nominate additional candidates so that the number of candidates will exceed the number of vacancies by two. This occurred in the Cultural and Educational Oireachtas Sub-Panel, the Agricultural Oireachtas Sub-Panel and the Industrial and Commercial Oireachtas Sub-Panel, in the 2007 election (see Panels of Candidates pages 57, 60 and 65.)

*County Borough is referred to as City in Local Government Act 2001.

6 C. ELECTIONS FOR UNIVERSITY CONSTITUENCIES

Nomination of Candidates Every candidate must be nominated in writing on a nomination paper subscribed by two registered elec- tors as proposer and seconder and by eight other registered electors as assenting to the nomination.

Electorate The register of electors in the case of each University is required to be revised annually in accordance with the Seanad Electoral (University Members) Acts, 1937 to 1973. Every citizen of Ireland being 18 years of age or over who has received a degree (other than an honorary degree) in the University concerned, or in the case of the University of Dublin, has obtained a foundation scholarship or (being a woman) a non- foundation scholarship is entitled to be registered as an elector.

Voting A ballot paper is sent by post by the returning officer concerned to each person on the register of electors. The elector marks the ballot paper and returns it by post together with a form of declaration of identity duly made and completed by him.

Counting of Votes The rules for the counting of votes are contained in the Third Schedule to the Act of 1937 and are reproduced on pages 74 to 76.

70 (f) a surplus which arises on the completion of any count shall be dealt with before a surplus which arises at a subsequent count; (g) when two or more surpluses arise out of the same count, the largest shall be first dealt with and the others shall be dealt with in the order of their magnitude; (h) if two or more candidates have an equal surplus arising out of the same count, the surplus of the candidate credited with the greatest value at the earliest count at which the values credited to those candidates were unequal shall be first dealt with, and where the values credited to such candidates were equal at all counts, the Seanad returning officer shall deal first with the surplus of the candidate who is highest in the order of preferences.

(2) If two or more candidates are each credited with a value of votes equal to or greater than the quota, the candidate credited with the greatest value of votes shall be deemed to have been elected before a candidate credited with a lesser value of votes.

(3) Whenever the number of candidates on a sub-panel who have been deemed to be elected is equal to the maximum number of candidates that could at that time be elected in respect of such sub-panel, no further candidate shall be deemed to be elected in respect of that sub-panel and, any count in progress at the time having been completed, such one of the remaining candidates on that sub-panel as is credited with the greatest value of votes shall be deemed not to be a continuing candidate and, before any other transfer is made, the value of his votes shall be transferred in the same manner as in the case of a transfer on the exclusion of a candidate. If the values of the votes credited to two or more such candidates are equal, the candidate first to be deemed not to be a continuing candidate shall be the candidate credited with the greatest value of votes at the earliest count, beginning with the first, at which the values of votes credited to such candidates were unequal, and if the values of votes were equal at all counts, the candidate highest in the order of preferences.

(4) If the values of votes credited to two or more candidates on a sub-panel are equal and all such candidates may not by reason of paragraph (3) of this Rule be deemed to be elected, the first of such candidates to be deemed to be elected shall be the candidate credited with the greatest value of votes at the earliest count, beginning with the first, at which the values of votes credited to such candidates were unequal. If the values of votes are equal at all counts, the candidate highest in order of preferences shall be deemed to be credited with the greatest value of votes.

9. (1) If at the end of any count no candidate has a surplus and one or more vacancies remain unfilled, the Exclusion of candidates. Seanad returning officer shall exclude the candidate (in this Rule referred to as the excluded candidate) then credited with the lowest value and shall transfer his papers to the continuing candidates respectively indicated on the ballot papers in the parcel or sub-parcels of the excluded candidate as the voter’s next available preference, and shall credit such continuing candidates with the value of the papers so transferred, and the following provisions shall apply to the making of such transfer: (a) the parcel containing original votes shall first be transferred, the transfer value of each paper being one thousand; (b) the sub-parcels containing transferred votes shall then be transferred in the order in which and at the value of which the excluded candidate obtained them; (c) for the purpose of determining whether a candidate is a continuing candidate the transfer of each parcel or sub-parcel shall be regarded as a separate count; (d) in the transfer of each parcel or sub-parcel, a separate sub-parcel shall be made of the non-transferable papers which shall be set aside at the value at which the excluded candidate obtained them; (e) if, when a candidate has to be excluded under this Rule, two or more candidates are each then credited with the same value and are lowest regard shall be had to the total value of original votes credited to each of those candidates and the candidate with the smallest such total value shall be excluded, and where such total values are equal regard shall be had to the the total value of votes credited to each of those candidates at the earliest count at which they had unequal values, and the candidates with the smallest such total value at that count shall be excluded, and if those candidates were each credited with the same total value of votes at all counts that one of those candidates who is lowest in the order of preferences shall be excluded.

(2) A candidate on a sub-panel shall not be excluded under this Rule if the number of candidates deemed to be elected to the sub-panel plus the number of continuing candidates thereon, if such candidate were excluded, would be less than the minimum number required to be elected from the sub-panel.

(3) If the value of votes credited to two or more candidates is equal, the candidate first to be excluded shall be the candidate credited with the smallest value of votes at the earliest count, beginning with the first, at which the values of votes were unequal, and if the values of votes were equal at all counts, the candidate lowest in the order of preferences shall be first excluded.

10. On every transfer made under these Rules, each sub-parcel of papers transferred shall be placed on top of Disposal of papers on the parcel or sub-parcel (if any) of papers of the candidate to whom the transfer is made and that candidate shall transfer. be credited with the value ascertained in accordance with these Rules of the papers so transferred to him.

11. (1) If at the end of any count the number of candidates deemed to be elected is equal to the number of Filling the last vacancies. vacancies to be filled, no further transfer shall be made.

71 (2) When at the end of any count the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of vacancies remaining unfilled, the continuing candidates shall thereupon be deemed to be elected.

(3) When only one vacancy remains unfilled and the value credited to some one continuing candidate exceeds the total of the values credited to the other continuing candidates together with any surplus not transferred, that candidate shall thereupon be deemed to be elected.

(4) When the last vacancies can be filled under this Rule, no further transfer shall be made.

Result sheet. 12. At the end of every count the Seanad returning officer shall record on a result sheet in the prescribed form the total of the values credited to each candidate at the end of that count and also the value of the non-transferable papers not effective on that count and the loss of value on that count owing to disregard of fractions.

Precautions for 13. While the votes are being counted the ballot papers shall so far as it is practicable be kept face upwards preservation of secrecy. and all proper precautions shall be taken by the Seanad returning officer for preventing the numbers on the backs of the ballot papers being seen.

Recount. 14. (1) Any candidate or his agent may, at the conclusion of any count, request the Seanad returning officer to re-examine and recount all or any of the ballot papers dealt with during that count, and the Seanad returning officer shall forthwith re-examine and recount accordingly the ballot papers indicated.

(2) The Seanad returning officer may at his discretion recount ballot papers either once or more often in any case in which he is not satisfied as to the accuracy of any count.

73 UNIVERSITY CONSTITUENCIES.

[Third Schedule to the Seanad Electoral (University Members) Act, 1937]

1. (1) After the ballot papers have been mixed in accordance with the Rules contained in the Second Schedule to this Act, the returning officer shall, rejecting any that are invalid, cause the ballot papers to be arranged in parcels according to the first preferences recorded for each candidate.

(2) The returning officer shall then count the number of papers in each parcel, and credit each candidate with a number of votes equal to the number of valid papers on which a first preference has been recorded for such candidate, and he shall ascertain the full total number of all valid papers.

2. The returning officer shall then divide the full total number of all valid papers by a number exceeding by one the number of vacancies to be filled. The result increased by one, any fractional remainder being disregarded, shall be the number of votes sufficient to secure the return of a candidate. This number is herein called the ‘‘quota’’.

3. If at the end of any count the number of votes credited to a candidate is equal to or greater than the quota, that candidate shall be deemed to be elected.

4. (1) If at the end of any count the number of votes credited to a candidate is greater than the quota, the surplus shall be transferred in accordance with the provisions of this Rule to the continuing candidate or candidates indicated on the ballot papers in the parcel or sub-parcel of the elected candidate, according to the next available preferences recorded thereon.

(2) (a) If the votes credited to an elected candidate consist of original votes only, the returning officer shall examine all the papers in the parcel of the elected candidate whose surplus is to be transferred, and shall arrange the transferable papers in sub-parcels according to the next available preferences recorded thereon. (b) If the votes credited to an elected candidate consist of original and transferred votes, or of transferred votes only, the returning officer shall examine the papers contained in the sub-parcel last received by the elected candidate, and shall arrange the transferable papers therein in further sub-parcels according to the next available preferences recorded thereon. (c) In either of the cases referred to in paragraphs (a) and (b) of this sub-section the returning officer shall make a separate sub-parcel of the non-transferable papers, and shall ascertain the number of papers in each sub-parcel of transferable papers, and in the sub-parcel of non-transferable papers.

(3) If the surplus is equal to or greater than the total number of papers in the sub-parcels of transferable papers, the returning officer shall transfer each sub-parcel of transferable papers to the continuing candidate indicated thereon as the voters’ next available preference:

Provided that where the surplus is greater than such total number a sub-parcel shall be made of a number of non-transferable papers equal to the difference between the said total number and the surplus and the papers in such sub-parcel shall be set aside and not further taken into account and for the purposes of Rule 22 in the Second Schedule to this Act shall be described as non-transferable papers not effective and the remaining non-transferable papers also arranged as a sub-parcel shall be placed with the papers of the candidate deemed to be elected.

(4) (a) If the surplus is less than the total number of transferable papers, the returning officer shall transfer from each sub-parcel of transferable papers to the continuing candidate indicated thereon as the voters’ next available preference that number of papers which bears the same proportion to the number of papers in the sub-parcel as the surplus bears to the total number of transferable papers. (b) The number of papers to be transferred from each sub-parcel shall be ascertained by multiplying the number of papers in the sub-parcel by the surplus and dividing the result by the total number of transfer- able papers. A note shall be made of the fractions, if any, in each quotient ascertained in respect of each candidate. (c) If, owing to the existence of such fractions, the number of papers to be transferred is less than the surplus, so many of these fractions taken in the order of their magnitude, beginning with the largest, as are necessary to make the total number of papers to be transferred equal to the surplus, shall be reckoned as of the value of unity, and the remaining fractions shall be ignored. If two or more fractions are of equal magnitude, that fraction shall be deemed to be the largest which arises from the largest sub-parcel, and if such sub-parcels are equal in size, preference shall be given to the candidate who obtained the largest number of original votes. Where the numbers of such original votes are equal regard shall be had to the total number of votes credited to such candidates, at the first count at which they had an unequal number of votes, and the fraction credited to the candidate with the greatest number of votes at that count shall be deemed to be the largest. Where the numbers of votes credited to such candidates were equal at all counts the returning officer shall determine by lot which fraction shall be deemed to be the largest. (d) The particular papers to be transferred from each sub-parcel shall be those last filed in the sub-parcel, and each paper so transferred shall be marked stamped or perforated so as to indicate the number of the count at which the transfer took place.

74 (5) A surplus which arises at the end of any count shall be transferred before a surplus which may arise at a subsequent count: Provided that—

(a) the returning officer need not necessarily transfer the surplus of an elected candidate when that surplus, together with any other surplus not transferred, is less than the difference between the numbers of the votes credited to the two lowest continuing candidates; (b) a surplus which is equal to or greater than the difference between the numbers of votes credited to the two lowest candidates shall be transferred before any surplus which is less than such difference; (c) if there are two or more surpluses, each of which is less than the difference between the numbers of votes credited to the two lowest candidates, the greatest of such surpluses shall be first transferred without regard to the count at which it arose.

(6) When two or more surpluses arise from the same count the largest shall be first dealt with and the others shall be dealt with in the order of their magnitude.

(7) If two or more candidates have each an equal surplus arising from the same count, regard shall be had to the number of original votes obtained by each candidate, and the surplus of the candidate credited with the largest number of original votes shall be first dealt with.

Where the numbers of such original votes are equal, regard shall be had to the total number of votes credited to such candidates at the first count at which they had an unequal number of votes, and the surplus of the candidate with the greatest number of votes at that count shall be first dealt with.

Where the numbers of votes credited to such candidates were equal at all counts, the returning officer shall determine by lot which surplus he will first deal with.

5. (1) If at any time no candidate has a surplus (or when under the preceding Rule an existing surplus need not be and is not transferred), and one or more vacancies remain unfilled, the returning officer shall exclude the candidate credited with the lowest number of votes, and shall examine all the papers of that candidate and shall arrange the transferable papers in sub-parcels according to the next available preferences recorded thereon for continuing candidates, and shall transfer each sub-parcel to the candidate for whom that preference is recorded, and shall make a separate sub-parcel of the non-transferable papers. The non-transferable papers shall be set aside as finally dealt with and shall for the purposes of Rule 22 in the Second Schedule to this Act be described as non-transferable papers not effective.

(2) If the total of the votes of the two or more lowest candidates together with any surplus not transferred, is less than the number of votes credited to the next highest candidate, the returning officer may in one operation exclude those candidates and transfer their votes in accordance with paragraph (1) of this Rule.

(3) If, when a candidate has to be excluded under this Rule, two or more candidates have each the same number of votes and are lowest, regard shall be had to the number of original votes credited to each of those candidates, and the candidate with the smallest number of original votes shall be excluded, and where the numbers of the original votes are equal, regard shall be had to the total numbers of votes credited to those candidates at the first count at which they had an unequal number of votes, and the candidate with the lowest number of votes at that count shall be excluded and, where the numbers of votes credited to those candidates were equal at all counts, the returning officer shall determine by lot which shall be excluded.

6. (1) Whenever any transfer is made under any of the preceding Rules each sub-parcel of papers transferred shall be placed on top of the parcel, if any, of papers of the candidate to whom the transfer is made, and that candidate shall be credited with a number of votes equal to the number of papers transferred to him.

(2) If after any transfer a candidate has a surplus, that surplus shall be dealt with in accordance with and subject to the provisions contained in Rule 4 before any other candidate is excluded.

7. (1) When the number of continuing candidates is equal to the number of vacancies remaining unfilled, the continuing candidates shall thereupon be deemed to be elected.

(2) When only one vacancy remains unfilled, and the votes of some one continuing candidate exceed the total of all the votes of the other continuing candidates, together with any surplus not transferred, that candidate shall thereupon be deemed to be elected.

(3) When the last vacancies can be filled under this Rule, no further transfer of votes need be made.

8. (1) Any candidate or his agent may, at the conclusion of any count, request the returning officer to re-examine and recount all or any of the papers dealt with during that count, and the returning officer shall forthwith re-examine and recount accordingly the papers indicated without making any alterations in the arrangement of the papers in the various parcels, save where such alterations may be necessary in consequence of any error discovered in the recount. The returning officer may also at his discretion recount papers either once or more often in any case in which he is not satisfied as to the accuracy of any count: Provided that nothing herein shall make it obligatory on the returning officer to recount the same parcel of papers more than once.

(2) The powers of the Court upon an election petition shall include power to direct the whole or any part of the ballot papers to be recounted, and the result of the election to be ascertained in accordance with these Rules.

75 (3) On any such recount, subject to such modifications as may be necessary by reason of any order of the Court, each paper shall take the same course as at the original counting of the votes.

9. (1) If any question shall arise in relation to the exclusion of any candidate under Rule 5 or to any transfer of votes, the decision of the returning officer, whether expressed or implied by his acts, shall be final, unless an objection in writing stating the grounds thereof is made to the returning officer by any candidate or his agent before the declaration of the poll, and in that event the decision of the returning officer may be reversed upon an election petition.

(2) If any decision of the returning officer is so reversed, the transfer in question and all operations subsequent thereto shall be void, and the court may direct what transfer is to be made in place of the transfer in question, and may cause the subsequent operations to be carried out, and the result of the election to be ascertained in accord- ance with these Rules.

10. In these Rules—

(1) The expression ‘‘continuing candidate’’ means any candidate not deemed to be elected and not excluded.

(2) The expression ‘‘first preference’’ means the figure ‘‘1’’ standing alone; the expression ‘‘second preference’’ means the figure ‘‘2’’ standing alone in succession to the figure ‘‘1’’ and the expression ‘‘third preference’’ means the figure ‘‘3’’ standing alone in succession to the figures ‘‘1’’ and ‘‘2’’ set opposite the name of any candidate, and so on.

(5) The expression ‘‘non-transferable paper’’ means a ballot paper on which no second or subsequent prefer- ence is recorded for a continuing candidate.

Provided that a paper shall be deemed to have become a non-transferable paper whenever—

(a) the names of two or more candidates (whether continuing or not) are marked with the same number and are next in order of preference; or (b) the name of the candidate next in order of preference (whether continuing or not) is marked— (i) by a number not following consecutively after some other number on the ballot paper; or (ii) by two or more numbers; or (c) it is void for uncertainty.

(6) The expression ‘‘original vote’’ in regard to any candidate means a vote derived from a ballot paper on which a first preference is recorded for that candidate.

(7) The expression ‘‘transferred vote’’ in regard to any candidate, means a vote derived from a ballot paper on which a second or subsequent preference is recorded for that candidate.

(8) The expression ‘‘surplus’’ means the number of votes by which the total number of votes, original and transferred credited to any candidate, exceeds the quota.

(9) The expression ‘‘count’’ means—

(a) all the operations involved in the counting of the first preferences recorded for candidates;or (b) all the operations involved in the transfer of the surplus of an elected candidate; or (c) all the operations involved in the transfer of the votes of an excluded candidate.
