...and we need your help.

As you know by now, there is an important date coming up in Irish history - May 25th.

People here will vote on whether or not the 8th Amendment will be removed from the constitution.

Many Irish expats are expected to return home to use their vote: but for many reasons including financial constraints, job and family commitments and distance, many won't have the opportunity to make their vote count.

Do you have a friend/ brother/ sister/ cousin/ boyfriend/ girlfriend/ husband/ wife or Grandparents living abroad? 

Or, are you currently reading this in a different timezone?

If so, we REALLY want to hear from you to remind people here in Ireland of the importance of utilizing their voice.

We want you to record a quick video reminding Irish people to vote on May 25th.

Maybe include how you're feeling as you can't vote, and don't want others to waste the opportunity.

IMPORTANT: WE CANNOT INCLUDE ANY VIDEOS THAT  SUGGEST ANY BIAS REGARDING HOW YOU WOULD LIKE TO VOTE.

The message is simple: "I'm Irish and can't use my vote. Please use yours".

*Please take videos in selfie mode

*Ensure they are less than 15 seconds in length.

*Make sure there's not much background noise

*It would be great if you can take the video in a familiar location, but this isn't a necessity.

Fill out all your details and upload your video below:
