Galway Traveller Movement will be holding a public event to kick off a voting call for the upcoming referendums this Friday.
Ms Justice Marie Baker, Chair of Ireland’s independent electoral commission, will be coming to Galway to talk to Travellers from across Galway City and County about voting in the March 8 referendums.
The event at Ballybane Community Resource Centre will take place this Friday, January 26 at 2:30pm.
An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland’s independent electoral commission is responsible for explaining the issues to be voted on in the two 8 March Referendums, and for encouraging people to get out and vote.
The Commission is totally independent and not backing any side in the campaign.
The information campaign for the two 8 March Referendums kicked off yesterday on Thursday, January 25.
Ms. Justice Baker is using the first day of the Electoral Commission’s referendum campaign to travel to Galway to meet Travellers who have been active in promoting electoral participation within the community.
There they will talk all things referendum and voting, and learn more about the work of Galway’s Traveller Movement.
