The Electoral Office is preparing for the possibility of a snap Stormont Assembly election being held in December.
A letter has been sent to venues which may be used as polling stations advising that the vote "if called could be either on the 8th or 15th December 2022".
Stormont's power-sharing institutions have been in limbo for months with the DUP blocking their restoration in protest over Brexit's Northern Ireland Protocol. "If we do end up on October 28 and we're getting very close there's always the possibility of before Christmas." She added: "It's just contingency planning. We don't know anything. We're just looking at if it's going to be before Christmas.
