Electoral Commission dealing with legacy issues as a result.
There are hundreds of thousands of duplicate or redundant entries on the electoral register.
The Electoral Commission says it's dealing with multiple legacy issues and as a result, it can’t quantify how many mistakes there are.
Westmeath is one of eleven counties that have more people on the register than their entire population.
101.2% of the estimated population of the county was on the local election register last year.
The figure is 97.9% in Laois, and 96.2% in Offaly.
Chief Executive of the Commission Art O’Leary, explains why there are so many inaccuracies:
