Donegal County Council has confirmed that people who registered to vote between May 7th and November 25th last year will be automatically included on the Supplementary Register of Electors.
The new Register is to come into force on February 15th, after the General Election, which means that people who registered last year will not have an automatic entitlement to vote.
The council says next Wednesday, January 22nd, is the closing date for people not already registered who want to be included on the supplementary register.
