THere was a big clean-up done on the electoral register earlier this year in the run up to the election. Is it possible that the person who called to your door to update the register was given your name by whoever answered?
False presumption.I can only presume that the local authorities get some form of funding based on the number of voters registered and therefore the is an incentive for them to get as many names on the register as possible
I just received this morning a summon to appear for jury duty. I rang them because I am not an irish citizen and therefore I am disqualified for jury duty. The person I had on a phone asking why I was on the dail vote register. I told her I have no clue why my name is in there since I have
never apply/request it.
Can someone tell how come I am on the vote register and how to amend it?
Thanks
6.—Subject to the provisions of this Act, every citizen aged eighteen years or upwards and under the age of seventy years who is entered in a register of Dáil electors in a jury district shall be qualified and liable to serve as a juror for the trial of all or any issues which are for the time being triable with a jury drawn from that jury district, unless he is for the time being ineligible or disqualified for jury service.
Irish citizens can vote in every election and referendum
British citizens may vote at Dáil, European and local elections
IUnclear why SarahMc. thinks the quoted para indicates only Irish or UK citizens can be on the Irish electoral register - which in itself is internally inconsistent.
As far as the jury duty issue is concerned I always thought that as the system required selection of twelve random members of the community - however constituted - this would/must include universal eligibility. There would be riots in the streets of Britain if these aspects of state law and governance excluded - for example - Muslims, West Indians, Poles and Africans born elsewhere but living in Britain.
