Electoral Arrangements to Protect Democracy and Ballot Integrity: Discussion
3:00 pm
Ms Petra Woods:
Not yet. It is in progress. Each local authority has its own register and system. What is in place now is a central application portal, available through . What that means is that if a person is moving from Macroom to somewhere else in Cork, he or she can notify both local authorities at the same time. There is a streamlined process for doing so. The system still relies on the person in question providing information about where he or she is moving from and to. That is not the same as having everybody together.
