Appeal from Waterford Council as 90,000 voters to receive a polling card

Changes or additions to the electoral register in Waterford may be required ahead of next month's Presidential Election.That's according to Lisa Grant, from Waterford City and County Council.Her comments come as polling cards are set to arrive into homes across the county over the next few weeks.An estimated 90,000 people locally are eligible to vote in the election on October 24th.However, this number, she says is dependent on the register reflecting up-to-date details.An appeal has been made for those newly eligible to vote to visit Checktheregister.ie in order to register.The appeal also includes a request that bereaved families ensure their loved ones details are no longer on the register.Doing so, Lisa Grant says, reduces the likelihood of upset or hurt being caused on receipt of a polling card.Click on the image to listen back in full.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
