And young people will then say the parties offer nothing to the young…..

TBF the parties leading the polls want to drive the young out of the country for fear we’d ever get change or reform here, actively pursuing policies to make country unlivable for em and near impossible to make a life here

A system so broken no one wants to fix it.

I thought we were saving the young people bashing for after the election?

You don’t vote because of the weight of your vote. You vote because it is your right and showing your will to use it is the only way to maintain it. I hope that the other youths of the day will see that.

I’ve spent the last three weeks making TikTok videos trying to simplify politics for young people who previously had no interest.
I’m waiting for one of the lads in the pub to go “ah, is this you?” And spend the next 6 months ripping me out of it, but it’s worth it if a few young people can make an informed decision today and vote!

Depending on how you define young, a significant chunk are voting for government parties.

I just got back and I was the youngest there at age 40. I admit it’s early in the day but please PLEASE go vote.

There are other issues. When I was younger I missed voting in elections because I didn’t live at home and couldn’t make it back. Older people have a fixed address usually.

I personally can’t wait for the complaint about Friday election call for a Saturday election because students are in 3rd level and can’t get home.
Despite the fact Saturday election have lower turn out and complaints about students working or weekend plans.

I never received a polling card. I intend to chance my arm anyway, but it’s very strange; I’m in my 40s and have always gotten my polling card in the past.

Been voting for 40 years. I have come to the conclusion it actually doesn’t make a difference. And still I will vote today.

I don’t know who to vote for tbh

Side point: I feel weekday voting is an impediment to young people. Many young people from rural areas are forced to move to cities for work. It’s usually possible for them to get back to their constituency of course, but it’s a hinderance for young people I feel?

The reality is one vote in all likelihood wont make a difference.

I don’t vote. For me it’s not because I feel like I won’t make a difference it’s because I feel like I’m choosing between a bowl of dog shit and a bowl of diarrhoea. All options are unqualified for the job and they are all lying and bullshitting as much as they can to tell you they are actually a lovely Sunday roast.

My 18 year old son will be voting for the first time today. We get the right to give out when we vote!

Just voted, gonna be a bit late for work but sure look it. And yeah, mostly older folk in my spot this morning with a handful of people my age (early 30s) dotted around.

Twas 50/50 old and young at the station this morning for me. It’s only across the road so I went before work.

27, voted on the way in to work and I was the only person in there barring the people at the desks. I’d imagine there will be a big rush towards the latter half of the day though with it being a work day
