The electoral register is being refreshed, that means that everyone must re-register to vote even if you were able to vote in the 2019 elections.
The Electoral Office has started its official canvass to refresh the electoral register, a legal requirement to secure the legitimacy of the register and protect the integrity of our democracy.
This means that everyone must re-register even if you have cast ballots in the most recent elections in 2019.
The process is simple and can be completed online - it only takes five minutes.
