A reminder: A referendum will be held before 2025 on extending votes for the presidency to Irish citizens in the North, and those abroad. Join @VICAcampaign and @VotingRightsIE to make the Irish President a President for all.
Michael D Higgins is Uachtarán na hÉireann, so maybe now is the time to extend Irish citizens in the north voting rights in presidential elections 🗳🗳

The president represents the entire Irish nation, and all citizens should be invested in their election. We hope to see this referendum held as early as 2022 (3/3)

We are very pleased to see the referendum on presidential voting rights included in the new Diaspora Strategy published by the Irish government today. A great way to strengthen the connection between the diaspora and the presidency. #GlobalIrish

I’m delighted to hear that the Referendum on extending voting rights has been included in the Programme for Govt. During my time as Senator for the Diaspora and as a founding member of @VotingRightsIE, I have long campaigned for this Referendum to be called. @VICAcampaign
