“This Facebook App is an easy way for people to check the register and get registered before polling day. Alternatively people can go straight to checktheregister.ie," said the Chairman of the Referendum Commission, Mr Justice Kevin Cross.
"One of the primary functions of the Referendum Commission is to encourage people to vote, and encouraging voter registration in this way is an important part of this.
"Every Irish citizen aged 18 or over on polling day is entitled to vote. Yet many people will find that they can’t use this vote for the simple reason that they are not registered, or are registered at an old address.
"A referendum is an occasion when a decision is made not by the Government, the Houses of the Oireachtas or by the Courts, but by the people who vote. It is very important to check the register now to ensure your voice will be heard."
