Why Bother?
It’s a  trend – people not bothering to VOTE!. There was a welcome increase in turnout in 2007 - 67% - up 5% from 2002! In the 2002 General Election only 62% of registered Voters voted - this was down from 65% in 1997 and 76% in 1969! Despite the increase in 2007, there is still a long way to go to reach the 1969 turnout! Your Vote does Matter and it does Count very much – Why?

  • In Ireland today few people are voting - Voters make things happen – if you want change it is important to  Vote
  • Low voting areas lose out – high voting areas benefit and get more attention from politicians
  • We are responsible for the kind of politicians we get – Don’t complain if you don’t Vote
  • 6 out of 10 people elect our politicians – if you are not one of these it’s important to register
  • People struggled to get the vote. Some people still do not have the right. In Ireland we should exercise our right
  • Everyone is equal at on Election day – We all have one vote - the richest and most powerful - the poorest and disadvantaged
