Today is final day to register for referendum vote

Today is the final day to get on the electoral register to ensure a vote ahead of the upcoming referendum on 25th May.

Applications for inclusion in the supplement to the register of electors must be received by Meath County Council by Tuesday 8th May.
Members of the public can check if they are on the electoral register at their local council offices or online at www.checktheregister.ie. If you are not on the register, there is still time to apply to be included in the supplement to the register by filling in the application form and submitting it by Tuesday's closing date.
To get on the supplement to the register, you must be 18 years or over on polling day and be ordinarily resident at the address at which you want to register. If you are on the register and have moved address recently, you may apply to get on the supplement at your new address.
Applications must be signed in the presence of a garda from your local garda station or, if you establish in writing that you cannot do so, then in the presence of a council official. In either case, photographic and other identification may be required and should be brought with you. If neither option is viable due to a physical illness or physical disability, the application form must be accompanied by a medical certificate.
There are 141,301 people on the 2018/2019 register of electors in Meath which came into effect on 18th February. The breakdown of the electorate for each area is: Ashbourne 20,284; Kells 25,479; Laytown-Bettystown 23,670; Navan 22,084; Ratoath 24,859 and Trim 24,925.
