Vol. 556 No. 3

Written Answers. - Register of Electors.

Gay Mitchell

Ceist:

666 Mr. G. Mitchell asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government if he will consider, in the context of the draft register 2003-04, sending a card to each address in the State indicating who at that address is registered or if no one is registered and, suggesting to the occupiers, the steps to be taken to be added to the register of electors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19946/02]

The compilation and publication of the draft register of electors is a matter for the appropriate registration authority in accordance with electoral law, which required the 2003-04 draft register to be published on or before 1 November. In compiling the draft register, each authority is required to make a house to house or other sufficient inquiry in their area. After the draft registers are published, national and local publicity will be carried out to encourage people to check the draft registers to ensure that they are included in the register to be published next February.
