Young people can visit www.checktheregister.ie to see if they are on the electoral role. If they are not then they will need to complete a RFA form which can be found on the same site (or click HERE). Young people who will turn 18 on or before February 15^th are also eligible to vote in the general election and will just need to complete the form too.
With the high youth turnout in last May’s referenda it is important that young people continue to engage in the democratic process and realise that their voice can be heard,’ added Mr. Troy, Youth Information Officer.
