Check You are Registered to Vote

28 March 2002

by Cllr Joe Costello

The new register of voters has just been published. Every person over 18 should check the register to ensure that s/he is listed at the correct address. If you are not listed you can still register at this stage. You can have your name added to the supplementary register if you have moved house recently either within or outside Dublin Central or if you have never previously and were not listed on any previous register. You should check the register now and if necessary apply to be included in the supplementary register as soon as possible. If you apply after the election is called the application must reach Dublin Corporation before the 14th day before election day (excluding public holidays etc.). If you do not register on time you will not be entitled to vote in the Gerneal Election in May. If you require forms or assistance in applying to be included on the supplementary register please contact me at my office or call to any of my advice centres.
