I'm Irish, yet I am on the UK electoral roll and get voting cards for general elections, which my German girlfriend does not.

"To vote in a UK general election a person must be registered to vote and also [...] be a British citizen, a qualifying Commonwealth citizen or a citizen of the Republic of Ireland"

"Elections for Dáil Éireann: Both Irish and British citizens can vote in elections for Dáil Éireann (the lower house of parliament)."
