THOSE wishing to have a say in the make up of the new look Clare County Council and the European Elections have until this evening (Tuesday) to register.
The local elections are open to everyone over the age of 18 years old.
A total of 69 people from Clare have already registered to be candidates in the Clare local elections.
The closing date for candidate nominations was last Saturday.
During the last local and European elections in 2009, 63.86 per cent or 56,687 of County Clare’s 88,769 voters turned out to vote.
Clare County Council is reminding voters that the closing date and time for inclusion on the Supplementary Register for the Local and European Elections is 5pm today, May 6.
While you do not have to be an Irish citizen to vote in the local elec- tions; you must be over 18 years of age and you must live in the local electoral area.
Application forms for the supplementary register can be downloaded from www.checktheregister.ie or can be obtained from Áras Contae and Chláir and at Clare County Council Local Area Offices.
The Local Authority has also set up a Freephone Number 1800 245426 to assist people with their queries.
“The Local and European Elections will take place on Friday, May 23 and people who are eligible to vote, but who have not yet registered, have an opportunity between now and May 6 to apply to be included on the Supplementary Register which allows them to vote at the forthcoming elections,” said a council spokesperson.
Meanwhile, Clare County Council confirmed that the Count Centre for both elections will be Treacy’s West County Hotel on the Limerick Road in Ennis.
