To register to vote complete the form below taking careful note of the instructions in sections A to D.

A: Be sure to include

Every person over 18 living at your address
17 year olds who will be 18 by 15 February next
Any eligible person who normally lives at your address but is temporarily away

B: Do not include

A visitor staying temporarily at your address

C: Citizenship
While every resident is entitled to be registered, the registration authority (your city or county council) needs to know a person's citizenship to determine the elections at which they may vote. The right to vote is as follows:

Irish citizens may vote at every election and referendum
British citizens may vote at Dáil, European and local elections
EU citizens (other than Irish and British citizens) may vote at European and local elections
Non-EU citizens may vote at local elections

D: Two versions of the register
Since 2004, registration authorities are required to publish two versions of the register - the full version and the edited version. The full register lists everyone who is entitled to vote and can only be used for an electoral or other statutory purpose.

EDITED REGISTER
The edited register contains the names and addresses of persons whose details can be used for a purpose other than an electoral or other statutory purpose e.g. for direct marketing use by a commercial or other organisation. If any member(s) of the household do not want their details to be included on the edited register, you should tick the relevant opt out box(es) in column (v) at part 3 of the form.
