An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland’s independent electoral commission, is preparing a Strategy to try and encourage people to get more involved with the democratic process. To help inform the strategy, they are undertaking a comprehensive public consultation process. They want to amplify the work that is already happening and provide access to education and information on Ireland’s electoral and democratic processes. They want people to tell them what they think should happen, and they also want those who do not vote, to tell them why.
They want people from all sectors of society, all walks of life in Ireland to use their voice and to vote in elections and referendums.
Whether you have voted in every election or never voted before, they want to hear from you. Do you have a brilliant or simple idea as to how they can help people to become more engaged with our democratic system? They want to hear from you. Individuals, groups, organisations, people in classrooms, younger, older and everyone in between.
The deadline for submissions to the Education and Public Engagement Strategy consultation is Monday 24 March 2025 at 11:59pm.
