Depending on your citizenship, the right to vote is as follows:

• You must be at least 18 years of age on 15 February, the day the register comes into force.
• Irish citizens may vote at every election and referendum
• British citizens may vote at Dáil, European and local elections
• Other European Union (EU) citizens may vote at European and local elections
• Non-EU citizens may vote at local elections only.

You must be registered at one address only and you must live at that address on 1st September before the register comes into force.

How to Correct the Register

If you are not on the draft register or if you are incorrectly listed you should complete the  RFA1 Correction to the Draft Register of Electors (Bilingual) (adobe .pdf, 91 kbs)  form which claims a correction to the Draft Register of Electors and should be sent to Waterford County Council on or before 25th November.

Where a correction is requested because of a change of address, both the former and current addresses should be indicated.
A list of claims for corrections in the draft register is published on 30th November.

The Final Register of Electors is then published on 1st February and comes into effect on February 15th each year.
If you are qualified to vote but have missed the deadline to include your name on the Register, you can apply to be included in a Supplement to the Register
