There's two elections and a referendum coming up in May, and it's time to make sure you're registered to vote.
If you're looking to register, or just unsure whether you are it's a very easy process.
On May 24, Ireland will vote on the local elections, the European elections and the divorce referendum.
While you may not have even realised there's an election coming up, it's important to register your vote so you can have your say on election day.

How can I register to vote?
You need a registration form for the supplementary register, and this can be found here.
This is also where you can change your address or information.
After you've filled in the form - and had it witnessed at a garda station - you then need to send it on to your local council.
How can I check that I am on the list of voters?
The easiest way to check is log onto www.checktheregister.ie and enter your details.
You can also check at your local post office, garda station, library or council offices.
