Over 400,000 registered to vote since January

The Chief Executive Officer of An Coimisiún Toghcháin has said that over 400,000 people have registered to vote since January.

Speaking on RTÉ's Six One News programme, Art O'Leary urged people to use their vote tomorrow.

"We've done dozens of in-person events all over the country, and we have targeted, in particular, areas of low turnout," he said.

"We've spoken to disability groups, traveller communities, people who generally don't engage with the electoral process, with the view to explaining the importance of their vote and why their vote matters."

Regarding advice to voters who have not cast a ballot before, Mr O'Leary's advice was to bring ID, their polling card and to only use numbers when filling out the ticket so as not to spoil it.

He added that half a million people live in different constituencies to where they would have been for the last General Election and advised that people check the Electoral Commission website to check which constituency they are in and who their candidates are.
