Consultation

As An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland’s independent electoral commission, we are preparing a Strategy to try and encourage people to get more involved with our democratic process. We want to amplify the work that is already happening. We want to provide access to education and information on Ireland’s electoral and democratic processes. We want people to tell us what they think should happen. And we want those who do not vote to tell us why.

We want people from all sectors of society, all walks of life in Ireland to use their voice and to vote in elections and referendums.

Whether you have voted in every election or never voted before we want to hear from you. Do you have a brilliant or simple idea as to how we can help people to become more engaged with our democratic system? We want to hear from you. Individuals, groups, organisations, people in classrooms, younger, older and everyone in between.

The deadline for submissions to the Education and Public Engagement Strategy consultation is Monday 24 March 2025 at 11:59pm.

You can find more information by reading our Consultation Paper.
