Make Sure Your Vote Will Count When It Matters: Register Or Update Your Details now On Voter.ie

• All residents of Ireland aged 18 and over have a right to vote.
• If you are a resident living in Dublin, Voter.ie is the portal where you can register to vote.
• Make sure you still have your vote – check and confirm your details are current and correct.
• If you are aged 16-17, you can pre-register to vote now.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council, Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, and South Dublin County Council have today launched a campaign, calling on all Dublin residents to use Voter.ie to register to vote, or to update their details. 

This digital portal offers all residents living in Dublin aged 18 and over, an efficient and accessible way to engage in the democratic process and ensure their voice is heard in upcoming elections.  

People aged 16-17 can pre-register to vote now. This means that when they turn 18, they will be automatically eligible to vote. This will simplify and modernise the process for new voters and reduce the possibility of missing registration. 

Recent changes in legislation underscore the importance of maintaining accurate voter information. For existing registered voters, it is crucial to update personal details, including current address and Eircode, date of birth, and Personal Public Service Number (PPSN). These updates enable local authorities to cross-reference and verify voter information, reinforcing the integrity of the voting system and upholding the principles of fairness and transparency. Registering or updating your details ensures you still have your vote.

This campaign will be rolled out across radio, outdoor, print and digital channels. Local authorities in Dublin will also undertake activities in their local areas to encourage people to get their details up to date in advance of upcoming elections.
