Electoral Register

Next year’s Register of Electors is now being compiled. To ensure that you, and members of your household, will be registered, you should complete and return the relevant application form immediately. These forms can be obtained from a number of state agencies and offices, including Clonakilty Town Council’s offices on Kent Street, Clonakilty.
While every resident is entitled to be registered, the registration authority needs to know a person’s citizenship to determine the elections at which they may vote. The right to vote is as follows:

• Irish Citizens may vote at every election and referendum;
• British Citizens may vote at Dáil, European and local elections;
• EU Citizens (other than British Citizens) may vote at European and local elections;

Non-EU citizens may vote at local elections.
