The breakdown of Seanad voters per 1,000 of population by county
Louth has one of the lowest number of Seanad voters in the country, according to new figures published in today’s Irish Times.
The figures show that just 19.7 of every 1,000 people in the Wee County have a vote in the Seanad elections – the fourth lowest total in the country.
Only Donegal (17.4), Laois (18.1) and Cavan (18.8) fared worse with Wexford and Monaghan having similar figures.
The paper revealed that people in more than 100 countries had votes in the Seanad elections. Of the 161,000 people elegible to vote though, 94 per cent of them are in Ireland.
Louth currently has three Senators in the Seanad – Mary Moran, Jim D’Arcy and Terry Brennan.
