RegisterToVote.ie Good idea, shame about the implementation. To check if you’re registered , you have to go the individual County Council website – that’s about 30 different chances of error.
Did Local Government really pay web designers to do the same work 30 times?
Anyway, try checking your ability to vote on the Louth website and you get the following error:

Agreed. I tried it last week and because I don’t have a street address, only a townland which happens to be shared by two different parishes (from a postal point of view) I was frustrated by every attempt to find my address on the database. 😦
They’ll get there eventually…
We should know… 😉
