Subject to age and residency requirements, a registered elector's citizenship determines the polls at which he or she is entitled to vote. British Citizens may vote at Dáil, European Parliament and local elections. Irish Citizens alone are entitled to vote in Presidential elections and referendums.

While electoral law is subject to ongoing review, I have no proposals at present to extend the current arrangements for voting by non - Irish citizens.
