In October 2022 the Electoral Reform Act 2022 was passed and as a result the electoral registration process has changed. Even if you are already registered, you now need to add your PPSN, date of birth and Eircode. This allows local authorities to confirm your details and help to ensure the accuracy of the electoral register. As part of the process change checktheregister.ie has been updated and relaunched to facilitate electors to register and update their details as easily as possible.
The Longford Franchise section are continually working to improve the accuracy of the County Longford’s register. They are currently attempting to reach out to as many community groups as possible to offer information sessions on the changes to the registration process, to show people how easy it is to now register or update your details, and to register those who would like to do so.
If your group would be interested in having the Franchise Team deliver an information session on registering to vote and using ChecktheRegister.ie to your group, or if you are running any community events where it would be appropriate for them to attend or have a table/stall they would love to hear from you.
The Franchise team are happy to provide any additional information you might require about the sessions, and they can work with you to deliver the content in the most appropriate way for your group.
You can contact them by email franchise@longfordcoco.ie or by phoning Aisling on 043 334 4224 or Fiona on 043 3343507. They look forward to hearing from you.
