Clare residents are being urged to make their voices heard by turning out and voting in this week’s Presidential election.
People across the country will head to the polls between 7am and 10pm on Friday to elect either Independent candidate Catherine Connolly or Fine Gael candidate Heather Humphries as the 10th President of Ireland.
Fianna Fáil candidate, Jim Gavin, remains on the ballot paper despite withdrawing from the race, after it emerged he had failed to repay a tenant over €3,000 in overpaid rent.
Chief Executive of An Coimisiún Toghchain, Art O’Leary has been telling Clare FM’s Morning Focus that in the event Jim Gavin amasses the most votes and rejects the office of presidency, a fresh election will be held prior to December 24th.
