To mark the 100th Anniversary of International Women's Day, NBIN & NBCDTG will host an electoral identification clinic. The event has been organised by Kate Clarke of the North Belfast Interface Network & Leanne Marshall of the North Belfast Community Development & Transition Group.
Kate Clarke states “ With elections coming up on the 5th of May, women have often been disenfranchised from their vote because they don’t have the correct identification, this event marking the 100th anniversary of International Women’s Day will provide women with an official photo id issued by the NI Electoral Office. This is a cross community event, Women have an important voice and having the right identification to vote will be part of making that voice heard.”
Free of Charge the electoral office will take your photo and provide you with photographic identification which will allow you to vote in the upcoming elections.
The event is open to everyone but has a specific focus on women voters particularly young women who will be eligible for their first vote as well as senior women who may have lost out on previous votes because they do not have the correct identification.
