More than 3,000 people in Co Louth under the age of 25 are not registered to vote, according to new figures compiled by the National Youth Council.

In the build-up to the marriage equality referendum on May 22nd, the youth council found that 3,220 people in Louth between the ages of 18-25 had not been added to the electoral register as yet.

Any young person who is 18 years of age on or before May 22nd is eligible to vote. If you are not currently registered, you can do so by downloading and filling in the RFA2 form at www.checktheregister.ie. This form must be brought to and stamped at a Garda Station where the applicant is required to bring ID and then return it to the local authority before close of business on Tuesday May 5th next.
