Generations of Irish people have been forced to leave the country because of the failings of government.  They should have a say in how our government is elected, and they should have a say in how Ireland can get back to being a place where they are able to return.

Ballotbox.ie is a General Election 11 website dedicated to Irish emigrants who are not permitted to vote.  If you are an emigrant you can register on the site to cast symbolic votes for the candidates of your choice, in order to highlight the current flaws in Irish law surrounding the issue.

Eoghan and Fine Gael’s policy on this is to begin by giving passport holders the right to vote in the next presidential election at their local embassy.  Then we can take it from there.  Ballotbox.ie is a positive means to encourage extending the franchise.
