The youth of Davidstown have been to the ballot boxes today to cast their vote. They wanted to make sure that their voice was heard in the upcoming presidential elections. The fact that they are too young to vote officially didn’t stop them!
They brought their polling cards and their ID to the polling station. Both were checked by our scrutineers and then they were given their ballot paper. Each one of us went to the polling booth and then cast our vote in the ballot box.
We had people to oversee the voting and election to ensure that it was a fair and free vote. Also that no selfies were taken!
Then the counting began. There was only one spoiled vote.
It was a landslide victory in favour of…
Michael D. Higgins!
Liadh Ní Riada came in a very distant second.
We wonder if our result will be similar to the actual outcome on Friday? Only time will tell!
Our next vote will come on Thursday when we will elect our student president. The campaign has begun with campaign posters and speeches to convince voters who should get their precious vote. Before the campaign could begin we drafted a Class Constitution and made sure that the rules were fair. We will let you know the results on Thursday!
