REFERENDUMS – ARE YOU REGISTERED TO VOTE?
This March, for first time in almost five years, people in Ireland will have the opportunity to vote in a referendum. In fact, there will be two referendums on the same day, Friday 8th March – one on whether to remove the Constitutional reference to the role of women in the home; the other on expanding the concept of the family within the Irish Constitution. And then in June, local and European elections will be held. You can check that you’re registered to vote and that your details are up to date by going to checktheregister.ie, where you can confirm or update your details, by providing your PPS number, Eircode and date of birth. Neither PPS numbers nor dates of birth will ever appear on the electoral register.
You can also provide information about other necessary changes – for example, family members who are deceased but are still on the register. A paper form will remain available for those who wish to use it, either with a PPS number or with an in-person identity check at a local Garda station, similar to the previous process. You can check the register at:
