Unlike more than 130 countries worldwide, Ireland has no system for citizens abroad to vote in either elections or referendums. Irish Times Abroad wants to offer its disenfranchised readers living overseas a say, using a bespoke online “virtual voting tool” for elections and referendums. More than 2,000 members had their say in a similar virtual vote on the Eighth Amendment referendum in May. If you are living outside of the Republic of Ireland and would like to have your say in the virtual vote, you can join the free Irish Times Abroad Network here. Results will be published on irishtimes.com and sent to Irish Times Abroad Network members by email.
