Following the passage and enactment of the Electoral Reform Act 2022 the existing set of electoral information leaflets including "How members of local authorities are elected" were updated to reflect the new legislative provisions relating to the electoral registration process. The information leaflets:

  • How Members of Local Authorities are Elected;
  • The Register of Electors; and
  • Information for Voters with Disabilities;
were updated and translated into 16 languages including Ukrainian.

The leaflet "How members of local authorities are elected" is available in multiple languages on my Department's website at the following link: www.gov.ie/en/collection/6c483-information-on-how-members-of-local-authorities-are-elected-in-a-range-of-different-languages/.

The other information leaflets can be viewed or downloaded in different languages on my Department's website.
