    Hello all,

    Just wondering, are you put on the register to vote once your turn 18, or do you have to go somewhere to register?

    Cheers.

    are you sure? I think you can apply to be put onto the supplementary register up to a few weeks before the elections. Talk to your local county council electoral register department.
    The gardai dont really know the details of this, so find the county coucil in the phone book and ring them.

    Supplement

    If a person is not included in the register of electors currently in force but considers that he/she qualifies for registration, the person may, apply for entry in a supplement to the register which is published prior to polling day at each election and referendum. To apply, fill out the application form for entry into the annual Supplement. (Form RFA2) In order to qualify, a person must meet the citizenship, residence and age requirements which apply to the register concerned. Application for entry in the supplement: must be received by the registration authority at least 15 working days before polling day in order to be considered for that election or referendum. The closing date for postal voters to be included in the supplement is the day the order for an Election or Referendum is signed. Persons entered in the supplement are entitled to vote at elections/referenda held during the currency of the register.

    Mostly right. The Register of Electors is available for inspection from your local Garda station, post office or public library. Some councils also have it online.
