Check the register

Voting gives you an opportunity to be part of decision-making that affects your life and the future of our country. If you don’t vote, others will make the decisions for you.

To be able to have your say on important issues by voting, you must be on the electoral register.

It is very easy to register to vote or to check that your details are accurate and up to date. You can do this by visiting: www.checktheregister.ie

Once you are registered to vote, and you meet eligibility criteria for voting in a referendum, a polling card will be posted to your address before polling day.

• Make sure you’re registered at your current address by 20 February 2024. Check your information is up to date at checktheregister.ie.
• The deadline for postal and special voting arrangements for the referendums on 8 March 2024 has now passed.
• Watch out for your polling information card to arrive at your home by post.

• Make a plan for when you are going to vote on 8 March 2024. Visit our where to vote section for more information.
• You do not need to have your polling card with you when you go to vote. However, you should bring some valid form of personal identification such as a passport, a driving licence, a public services card, or an employee or student identity card with a photograph. Other forms of identification are also acceptable, such as a credit card or a birth certificate, as long as you also have another document which confirms your address in the constituency. You might not be asked for proof of identity, but if you are asked for it, you need to show it. Read more information and see the list of valid forms of ID in our how to vote section.
