The Act set the scope for the franchise for the referendum, defining those able to vote as those aged 16 or over who were registered as voters either through the existing local government voters' register or a new "young voters" register, and holding an appropriate citizenship (Commonwealth, Irish or EU member state), with the exception of specific groups not eligible to vote in the referendum, such as convicted prisoners, and those excluded from voting at local government elections by other election laws.
