Unfortunately, not everyone is currently entitled to a vote in Seanad elections. This is something Senator Higgins has worked to change by co-sponsoring a Seanad Reform Bill which would give all citizens over 18 a Seanad vote.

In the meantime, It is really important that everyone who has a vote to claim it and use it to support progressive and reforming voices. Could you perhaps share this message with family and friends who may be NUI graduates and encourage them to claim their vote before 26th February?
Voter registration forms can be downloaded here http://www.nui.ie/elections/se... or you can phone the NUI on 01 439 2424 to request a form. Completed forms must be emailed to records@nui.ie or posted to NUI head office by 26 February. NUI graduates who are living overseas are also entitled to register to vote and can vote in the next Seanad election from abroad via a postal vote. Finally, if you have moved address in recent years make sure to email records@nui.ie with your current postal address.

Reminder to all NUI graduates who have a vote in the NUI Seanad Election to post their ballot today. Completed ballots must reach the NUI in Dublin by 11am Wed 29th January.
On Wednesday the Seanad hosted a special debate on Galway's role as European Capital of Culture in 2020.
Speaking in the debate, Independent Senator Alice-Mary Higgins praised the wide participation of so many in making the bid successful and emphasised the importance of maintaining that inclusive participation as plans progress.
