    Hi all,

    I was removed from the register a few years back ( don't know why ) but I am trying to re-register.

    is it too late to re-register for the upcoming elections ?

    Apologies if this is the wrong forum.

    Ta
    Rob

    It's quite possible that your local authority will take the form from you today. You will need to get it to a Garda station and get it signed, then to your authority before they close. See here. After today you can definitely forget about it.

    Today the 18th is the last day but I'm not sure whether your supposed to have it in before today or including today.
    What you need is an rfa 3 form, here's one from the Meath CoCouncil site http://www.meath.ie/LocalAuthorities/ElectionsElectoralRegister/ElectoralRegister/ElectoralRegisterForms/File,3908,en.pdf
    And as sceptre said you'll need it stamped and signed in a Garda station.

    I got mine in on Friday and the Dublin City Council lady said that it was the last day.

    There's a sticky at the top about it.

    Thanks all.

    By local Authority - do you mean the Fingal Co Co offices ?

    5pm today is the deadline....

    Or, if you're one of the few remaining FF supporters, 5pm tomorrow ;)

    Is today still the last day you can change your registered address? I keep meaning to do it as it's a pain to head back to the sticks to vote every time

    Yes. And officially it was last Friday.

    Really, some of you guys make me look organised:)

    My registration according to that check the register site was not bringing up any results for some reason so just to be sure I filled out the form again today and brought it into the Council Offices (Dublin)

    The woman there said that today was 100% fine before 5pm. She said she was positive that my card will get there in time
