Register of Electors forms

A new Register of Electors is compiled each year, and the draft of this is published annually on 1st November. You can be included on the draft register by completing Form RFA and returning it to the Franchise Section of Waterford City and County Council.

You can inspect the Draft Register in your local Post Office or Garda Station and on www.Checktheregister.ie. The public is invited to check the Draft Register to make sure they are correctly registered.

You have until the 25th November annually to make a correction or have your name included on the draft Register by using form RFA1. The Live Register of Electors is then published on 1st February of the following year and comes into force on the 15th February annually.

To be able to vote in an election or referendum, a person's name must be entered in the Register of Electors for the locality in which the person ordinarily resides.

Please note it is a person's own responsibility to ensure that they are registered (or de-registered), and/or to inform the local authority of a change of address. A person may be registered at one address only.
