European and local elections will take place on June 11th, the Minister for the Environment and Local Government announced this evening.
Mr Cullen said polling would take place between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Anybody over the age of 18 is entitled to be register to vote in the local elections and citizenship is not a requirement.
Every Irish and EU citizen living in Ireland aged over 18 and registered in the register of electors is entitled to vote in the European election.
More than three million people are currently registered to vote. A new register of electors will be published on February 1st, 2004.
Voting and counting for all of the elections will be carried out electronically, after the system was successfully piloted in the General Election and referendum last year.
