Politicians warning over loss of
vote for Irish community in Britain
 IRISH people
living in Britain have been urged to check the electoral register before
the November deadline — to make sure they are eligible to vote in
Ireland.
Voters have until November 25 to check the draft electoral register and
correct any errors that may be on it. This would include a change of address
from Ireland to Britain.
By logging onto the Fianna Fáil sponsored website, www.registertovote.ie
people can find out how to get themselves on the electoral register.
Cork North-Central Fianna Fáil TD Billy Kelleher said: “The
November 25 date is significant because it is the cut-off point to change
your details on the voting register or to correct any errors.
“It is particularly significant for students, for example, who may
now be living away from home and want to update their contact details.”
The Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, Dick
Roche TD, recently launched Fianna Fáil’s No Vote, No Voice
campaign aimed at encouraging the voting age population to ensure they
are on the electoral register.
