A register of electors is compiled each year by county and city councils.
Everybody on the register is entitled to vote at a local election. Persons
identified by the letter "L" opposite their names can only vote
at a local election. A draft of the register is published on 1 November
each year and is displayed for public inspection in post offices, libraries,
other public buildings and on-line on the county or city council’s
website. A person can lodge a claim for correction in the draft register
up to 25 November. Claims are adjudicated on by the county registrar,
whose decision may be appealed to the Circuit Court. The register of electors
comes into force on 15 February. Persons who are not on the register can
make "late" applications for inclusion in a supplement to the
register which is published prior to polling day at an election. An application
may be made at any time but in order to be considered for inclusion in
the supplement to be published at an election, the application must be
received by the county/city council at least 15 working days before polling
day.
