Referendum Commission calls on all voters to use their vote
The Referendum Commission has today called on all voters to use their vote in both referendums tomorrow.
The Commission, which is the independent body set up to explain the referendum proposals and encourage voter turnout, says that unbiased facts about the Marriage Referendum and the Age of Presidential Candidates Referendum are available in both the independent guide and on refcom.iefor voters who are still considering their options.
Commission Chairman, Mr Justice Kevin Cross, said: “We do not argue for a yes or no vote, but we do strongly urge you to inform yourself and use your vote. How you vote on each of the two proposals is entirely a matter for you to decide, but it is important that you use your vote.”
Voters will be given two ballot papers tomorrow. A white ballot paper for the Marriage Referendum and a green ballot paper for the Age of Presidential Candidates Referendum. Voters cast their vote by putting an ‘X’ mark in the box.
