It will allow the locak authority to take on two additional staff members to update the register and ensure the data is correct, ahead of the presidential election later this year.
Up until recently online registration was only available in Dublin, however that's since been rolled out nationwide, with over 880,000 applications received by local authorities.
Work is progressing in relation to the development of a shared national electoral registration system, building on the existing voter.ie which has been in use in the Dublin region since 2019.
The new system will deliver significant improvements for electors through more integrated systems, including MyGovID and will enhance the capacity of local authorities to administer the register.
The Department has committed to support the project phase (€7.62m funding to cover the period 2024 to 2026) after which it will be funded by Local Authorities.
The system is in development and migration to the new system will take place on a phased basis in 2026.
