Dublin’s four local authorities – Dublin City Council, Fingal County Council, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council and South Dublin County Council – are now calling on all residents of the capital to register to vote or to update details on www.voter.ie.

Recent changes in legislation underscore the importance of maintaining accurate voter information. For existing registered voters, local authorities have advised 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.

This campaign has been 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.

The www.voter.ie digital portal offers all residents living in Dublin (aged 18 and over), an 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.
