Today is deadline for registering to vote

Today is the last day for registering to vote in the General Election on 26th February and the National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI) is encouraging young people in County Meath to make sure they are registered to vote.
They’ll have to act quickly though. They need to downloading and filling the RFA2 form at www.checktheregister.ie, have it stamped at a Garda Station and returned to the local authority before close of business today.
James Doorley, NYCI deputy director said: “We are especially anxious to ensure that the 2506 young people who have turned 18 in the last 12 months in Meath are included in the electoral register and can exercise their democratic right.”
Any young person who is 18 years of age on or before the date of the election is eligible to vote.
