MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL
Monday, June 12, 2023
QUESTION NO.13
QUESTION: Councillor C. O'Connor
To ask the CEO to confirm if new procedures are being followed in respect of work on the 2024 Voting Registers and will he make a statement? Charlie O'Connor
REPLY:
Voter.ie has been in place across the four Dublin local authority areas since 2018 and allows for online Voter registration. The Electoral Reform Act 2022, which came into effect in October 2022, amended the process of the Register of Electors - the Draft and Live Registers have now been replaced by a rolling Register of Electors, which is continuously updated.
Voters in the South Dublin County Council administrative area can continue to register to vote online at www.voter.ie or at www.checktheregister.ie.
Voters can now pre-register to vote at 16 years of age. Voters can also amend their details online as necessary e.g:
- Change their address.
- Update or correct personal details.
- Be removed from the Register.
Local and National campaigns are ongoing to encourage all Voters to check they are registered and to check their details, online, to ensure accuracy of the register.
