Louth library to hold National Voter Registration Day event

Dundalk Library will be holding a National Voter Registration Day event on Wednesday 30th of April 2025.

The Morning Session will be from: 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM while the Afternoon Session will be from: 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM.

Through the collaboration of community leaders, groups, civil society organisations, and other stakeholders the initiative hopes to improve voter registration.

People in Louth are being encouraged to visit the NVRD website to verify their eligibility to vote, check the register, and learn more about their voting rights.

The primary goals of this campaign are to ensure that everyone who is eligible to vote is registered to vote, inform underrepresented groups, disadvantaged communities, and young people across Ireland of their right to vote and how to register to vote and promote the importance of active citizenship and participating in the democratic process.

Speaking ahead of National Voter Registration Day, Liliana Fernandez, said:

“Although things are slowly improving there is still a lack of knowledge about voter rights among many people in Ireland and Louth.

“This has an impact on civic engagement and representation in Irish politics.

“This year we are continuing to collaborate with the Electoral Commission (An Coimisiún Toghcháin), Local Authorities, PPN’s, Civil Society Organisations and community leaders across the country to inform minorities and young people of their political rights, educate them on the roles of the President of Ireland, TD’s and local councillors, the functions of our political institutions, and how to register to vote."
