The Referendums Youngest Voter Will Bring An Even Bigger Smile To Your Face

The Referendums Youngest Voter Will Bring An Even Bigger Smile To Your Face

The record for the youngest ever vote has been recorded in Dublin South West yesterday for the Presidential and marriage equality referendums. According to a tweet from Stephanie Fleming who is counting that constituency, nine-year old Carey from Dublin decided that not being 18 or registered to vote shouldn't stop them getting their preference across.

From the huge travelling involved in getting #hometovote from this youngster getting interested in politics shows that the county is in a good place with the younger generation getting interested in real world issues.

It's great for the Stephanie in the count centre that a note like that can break up the monotony of counting thousands of votes with a smile, and thanks to her for giving all of us a reason to smile.

I'm not crying, it's just been raining on my face...
