If you can't vote in next month's presidential election, we want to hear from you

We want to hear whether and how emigrants, immigrants and Irish citizens in the North would vote if they could.

ARE YOU AN Irish emigrant abroad who can’t vote in next month’s presidential election?

Maybe you are a British, EU or non-EU citizen living in the Republic who does not have the right to vote in presidential elections?

Or perhaps you are an Irish citizen living in Northern Ireland? Although it’s long been talked about, the right to vote for the president has never been granted to people in the North.

If you fall into any of these groups, we’d love to hear from you.

We’ll be reflecting your views on next month’s election in a forthcoming article. We’d like to find out:

Would you like to have the right to vote for the president?
Does it bother you that you can’t vote in this election, or do you think it’s fair enough?
Who might you vote for if you could?

Please share your thoughts by emailing a paragraph or two (around 200-250 words max) to answers@thejournal.ie.

Please include your name, where you’re from and where you’re living now, and let us know if you’d prefer to remain anonymous.
