The Government has approved the text of a new Bill which will underpin the legality of using electronic voting in next June's local and European elections.

A spokesman said the Minister for the Environment, Martin Cullen, hopes to publish the Bill within the next week, and bring it before the Oireachtas shortly afterwards.

The Bill will also allow for the release of certain tally information at count centres, giving a breakdown of how different areas voted.
