In order to vote at elections in this jurisdiction, a person must be 18 years of age and his or her name must be entered in the register of electors for a constituency in the State in which the person ordinarily resides. Subject to these primary requirements, a person's citizenship determines the polls at which he or she is entitled to vote. British citizens may vote at Dáil, European and local elections.
