The Register of Electors includes the names of all those persons who have reached the age of 18 years and who are entitled to vote in Elections and Referenda.
A new Register is prepared every year and remains in force from 15th February in any year to the 14th of the following February.
To be eligible for inclusion in the Register of Electors a person must be 18 years of age or over on 15th February in the year in which the Register comes into force and must be ordinarily resident at the address at which they wish to be registered on 1st September in the year preceding the year in which the Register comes into force.
A Draft version of the Register is prepared in November each year and circulated to Garda Stations, Post Offices and Libraries to enable any person to check if they are included.
Application forms for inclusion in the Register of Electors or for corrections to same are available in Garda Stations, Post Offices and Libraries throughout the County or directly from Donegal County Council and the closing date for receipt of completed applications is 25th November each year.
In the period preceding an Election or Referendum a Supplement to the Register is printed to include eligible persons who are not included in the Live Register.
Application forms for inclusion in same are available from the above mentioned offices.
