A register of eligible voters is maintained for each electoral district. The electoral register forms the basis for the proper conduct of the election. It ensures that only those eligible to vote take part in the election and cast their vote only once. It is drawn up on the 42nd day before the election by automatically entering all eligible voters whose main residence is registered in the electoral roll within the electoral area. If you have become eligible to vote after the 42nd day before the election by moving into the electoral area, you will also be entered automatically. You will receive a polling card once you have been entered on the electoral register.
However, if a person moves only within the local authority area, their entry remains on the electoral roll of their original electoral district.
