Launch of SeanadVoter.ie

18.12.2024

SeanadVoter.ie

National University of Ireland is delighted to see the launch of SeanadVoter.ie today.  NUI is the Central Registration Authority for the new Higher Education Constituency in Seanad Éireann.  This constituency has an extended franchise and is one combined constituency for the Higher education sector. 

SeanadVoter.ie is the vehicle by which people can claim their votes. 

Information on the application process is available on SeanadVoter.ie and will be communicated via a wider media campaign early in the new year. The Act stipulated that the application window for inclusion on the 2025 register will close on 23rd January 2025.

It is important to note that the current Seanad Éireann election will run under the existing system and existing register and this work relates to the next possible Seanad Election.

• The Act specifies the institutions whose graduates will be able to register and that to be able to register the person must be an Irish Citizen, of at least 18 years of age and hold a degree from a designated institution.
  
  
• The process for registration for the new register will involve all electors. Registered voters on the current NUI and TCD registers will have to register anew to vote in the new constituency.

The Designated institutions are:

 

Historic institutions will be included for example Cork IT and Cork RTC who are historic institutions of MTU.

Affiliated institutions will also be included if the degree is a degree of the designated institution for example the Institute of Public Administration is a recognised college of NUI and their degrees are NUI degrees so IPA degrees will be accepted.
