Minister of State for Local Government and Electoral Reform, John Paul Phelan, welcomed the initiative.
Her said: “This initiative by the four Dublin local authorities is a very welcome and valuable project.
"This will provide an additional service to those who wish to avail of this online service, and will complement the current manual process, which will continue to be available for those who wish to use it.
"I see this as an important step towards the Government’s plan to improve and modernise the electoral registration process.”
Voters can check if they are eligible to vote in an election by entering their full name and address or Eircode on the Voter.ie website.
It is an additional service available to voters in Dublin and it does not replace the existing paper process.
In addition to the basic search functionality, the portal will also allow voters who are registered with mygovid to add themselves to the Register of Electors, change their address or other details and remove themselves from the Register.
