Assistance With Voter Registration Available to Clare's Under-Represented Communities
A Clare community worker has claimed that the ability to vote in local elections enables greater integration in communities. In the past fortnight, 12 Clare based community organisations have come together to help marginalised groups to register ahead of the upcoming local and European elections in June. The initiative will continue into early May and aims to provide assistance to people living in emergency accomodation and direct provision centres. Alina Senkova, Community Development worker with the Clare Local Development Company, says refugees need time to become familiar with their local representatives.
