My Department plans to advertise the opportunity for eligible voters to apply for inclusion in the supplement to the register of electors following the making of a Polling Day Order. This advertising will be carried out through the main national newspapers, the Department's website, the website of the Returning Officer and at www.checktheregister.ie.
The advertising will draw attention to the requirement that applications for entry in the supplement must be received by the relevant local authority at least 15 days (not including Sundays, Good Friday or Public Holidays) before polling day at a referendum in order to be considered for that referendum. The advertising will also draw attention to the requirement that applications for inclusion in the supplement to the postal or special voters lists must be received by the relevant local authority at least 22 days (not including Sundays, Good Friday or Public Holidays) before polling day at a referendum in order to be considered for that referendum.
