When did you vote for the first time?

I was around 19 when I first voted I think it was in a referendum. I never had to register to vote I was put on the register automatically. I haven't missed voting since I was registered. When did you first vote?

2002 General Election. I had turned 18 about a month previous. I think I gave Trevor Sargent first preference.

1997 General Election. Enda Kenny first preference.

It was also the day I got my first car, a 1989 Nissan Micra van in silver.

Reliable, practical, not too flashy and not especially popular.

Plus a vote for Enda too.

Voted in two different constituencies when I was 15.

Not in Sinn Fein anymore though.
