TODAY, many Kerry people will take their first steps inside a poll booth and cast their vote for the first time.
A total of 809 people in Kerry have been added to the supplementary register in advance of tomorrow’s general election.
In response to this, The National Youth Council of Ireland (NYCI), are calling on young people to ensure they cast their vote.
“Now, the focus must turn to getting out the vote,” said James Doorley, NYCI deputy director.
“NYCI is encouraging 18 to 25 year olds in particular to make sure they make their voices heard,” added Mr Doorley.
“We’ve been working to increase the number of young people on the register for the past number of referendums and elections, and we’re delighted that the local media have been supportive of our campaign this time round.”
“We welcome this increase, and remind young people to go out and vote in the election. It is your democratic right and a great opportunity to have your say in shaping the future of this country,” concluded Mr Doorley.
