The Family and Care referendums
Two referendums took place on the 8 March 2024. The first referendum dealt with the Constitutional definition of the family, while the second was based on the issue of care.
In consultation with the NEDS Management Board, An Coimisiún commissioned three surveys to accompany these referendums. These included two pre-referendum surveys, an online survey (n = 1,041) and a telephone survey (n = 1,001) as well as a voter’s survey (n= 3,557) at 185 polling stations across Ireland.
The questionnaires and slide decks are available here. The raw data and codebooks can be freely requested from An Coimisiún Toghcháin by emailing research@electoralcommission.ie.
