Election regulations changed making it easier for immigrants to vote

category national | politics / elections | news report author Tuesday April 27, 2004 17:32author by Lab member Report this post to the editors

The regulations covering what ID is valid for proof of identity while voting have been extended.

The amended regulations now include a Temporary Residence Certificate card (TRC card) and a Garda National Immigration Bureau card (GNIB card). as acceptable identification for the purpose of polling day



The regulations also add the TRC and GNIB cards to the list of photographic identification which is acceptable for the purpose of a person assenting to the nomination of a candidate at an election. An additional document – “travel document containing name and photograph” – has also been added to this list.

This is good news. I think that there should be a puch on to give everyone a vote, regardless of their nationality. If someone lives in Ireland why not give them a vote in all elections. Did you know that only Irish and UK citizens can vote in Dáil elections, only Irish citizens can vote in Referenda and Presidential votes, and non-EU citizens can't vote in European elections.

The problem is partially solved. The problem is that a lot of people are now disenfranchised about the polls after the Gardai initially rejected their ids. The government should now encourage immigrants by way of public campaigns and press releases to go back to the Gardai stations, get registered and execise their civic rights on June 11.
