Concerns Over Low Voter Turnout Ahead of the 2024 General Election in Ireland
With historical low turnout in the 2020 General Election, fears loom over participation rates for the upcoming 2024 election in Ireland. A recent poll indicates tightening support among political parties, but overall turnout is expected to fall below 60%. Factors influencing turnout include demographics, socioeconomic status, and external conditions like weather. Political analysts emphasize the need for reform to engage electors, particularly younger voters who appear increasingly disengaged from the democratic process.
