The UK government is giving 16-and-17-year-olds the right to vote. BBC Political Correspondent Rob Watson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode, Niall asks: Should Irish citizens living abroad or in Northern Ireland have the right to vote in Irish elections?Sinn Féin has put forward a motion to extend voting rights in presidential elections to Irish citizens overseas and in the North. Supporters say it would honour the global Irish community and reflect modern realities. Opponents argue that voting should be reserved for those who live, work, and pay tax in Ireland.Some callers said voting must be tied to residency. They felt people living abroad are too disconnected from daily life in Ireland to influence decisions that don't affect them directly. Others raised concerns about security, fraud, and voters basing choices on outdated views.But others passionately supported the motion, saying Irishness doesn't end at the border. They pointed to the importance of the diaspora in shaping Ireland's story and said presidential elections are largely symbolic. One caller argued that excluding Irish citizens in Northern Ireland is especially unjust.As Niall points out, the debate raises deep questions about identity, participation, and what it really means to belong to a nation — even from afar.

Today, Sinn Féin brought a Private Member's Bill on extending voting rights to Irish Citizens outside the state for the Presidential Election.This has been hotly debated for years, with the Constitutional Convention first recommending this extension in 2013.Sinn Féin Senator Conor Murphy joins guest host Jonathan Healy to discuss.

Advocacy Manager Reagan Stone reviews two bills that threaten your voting rights: the Texas version of the SAVE Act and the “Use it or lose it” bills! Joined by Vote Riders' Vicente Martinez to discuss SB 16,  Texas' SAVE Act introduces new, incessant barriers to register to vote—requiring proof of citizenship to register. And from the National Coalition for Voting Rights, Robin Lederer and Dr. Andrea Barreiro discuss the “Use it or lose it bills,” or SB 396/HB 4253—as well as the soon to be published study on these bills' actions and their correlation to disproportionately disenfranchising marginalized Texans.Learn more about Vote Riders: https://www.voteriders.org/Learn more about the National Coalition for Voting Rights: https://www.ncvr.org/Thanks for listening!

The Stormont Assembly will be asked to vote on this motion today. William discusses.

Travis Crum, Professor of Law at Wash U, says the SAVE Act is an effort to 'nationalize' registering to vote for federal elections. Current state laws already require proof of citizenship for voting he tells Megan Lynch.

On March 25, 2025, President Donald Trump signed an executive order titled "Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections." This directive introduces several significant changes to the U.S. electoral process, including:Proof of Citizenship for Voter Registration: States are required to verify the citizenship status of individuals during the voter registration process.​Mail-In Ballot Deadlines: The order mandates that all mail-in ballots must be received by Election Day to be counted.​Ban on Foreign Donations: It prohibits foreign contributions within 30 days of an election.States that do not comply with these provisions risk losing federal funding. ​ The executive order has sparked considerable controversy and legal debate. Critics argue that it infringes upon states' rights to regulate their own election procedures, as outlined in the U.S. Constitution. Legal experts anticipate numerous challenges to the order's constitutionality, citing concerns over potential voter disenfranchisement and the president's authority over independent election agencies. ​With Dan Bongino now joining the Trump administration, we have a unique opportunity to expand this program and potentially step into some of the radio slots he's leaving behind.

Is the SAVE Act Really Removing Women's Right to Vote? Indirectly, yes. But like all things in politics, the indirect ways are still intentional. By couching this legislation as a safeguard for voting or “election integrity” many will be hoodwinked into thinking it solves a problem. In reality, it's just going to make things more difficult for everyday Americans.***Thanks for listening to Overnight Opinions, a recurring news show on topics the mainstream media isn't telling you.

In this video I share the story of Martin Luther publishing the 95 Theses in 1517 due to corruption by the church and monarchs of his day. This led to political and social turmoil in Europe that is known as the reformation, which inspired a continent and ultimately the world. You see, Martin Luther took on the Catholic church and monarchs by letting common folks know that they didn't need to go to a priest to pay for the forgiveness of their sins. Instead they could pray directly to God and be forgiven. This greatly upset the church because it reduced their cashflow and as a result, They put a bounty on Martin Luther's head, but he was able to find shelter with local princes in Germany. His 95 Theses had a major impact because it was translated into multiple languages and printed and distributed all over Europe. This was made possible by the invention of the Gutenberg Press, which was the greatest technological advance of its time. What started in 1517 led to the Enlightenment Era nearly 130 years later. Because it became widely accepted that all men could go to God directly, political and social leaders like John Locke realized that the only way to make all men equal in the eyes of the government was to creating a system where every man had an equal right to vote for their local and national leadership. As a result, voting became the most powerful way to participate in the political process. While African American's were supposed to be able to vote in 1866 after the civil war, many Southern states had discriminatory laws that prohibited African Americans from voting. In later years Susan B. Anthony in America and Emmeline Pankhurst in England fought for Women to have the right to vote. Ultimately, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 gave all African Americans the right to vote. When we look at history, true power starts at the polls in modern societies. Martin Luther King, Malcolm X and John F. Kennedy all understood this and that is why they were assassinated. In the eyes of the law we are all equal because we all have the right to vote. If you Don't vote you don't matter in the eyes of those in power. Let your voice and vote be heard if you truly want to facilitate change. This is especially true when it comes to local elections. #historyofvoting #historyofdemocracy #biblicalorigins #votingday #election #electionday #martinlutherking #martinluther #malcomx #jfk

Episode 4030: Stand Your Ground. Don't Be Deterred. It Is Your Right To Vote

Episode 4031: Stand Your Ground. Don't Be Deterred. It Is Your Right To Vote (cont)

This election season, we’re looking back at the fight for women’s suffrage. When Oregon became a state, only white men could vote. Women worked for more than four decades to get men to vote for their rights. Racism hampered the movement, as many white women didn’t want to work with women of color in their activism. Black women formed their own groups and pushed hard for ballot access. Only then did the movement have enough momentum to succeed. Oregon women won the right to vote in 1912, eight years before women’s suffrage became a national law. Many barriers kept women of color from voting until the passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.    Nearly 80 years after women won the right to vote in Oregon, the state finally elected its first female governor, Barbara Roberts. In 2022, the three major candidates for Oregon governor were all women.   You can see the Oregon Experience documentary about women’s suffrage in Oregon here.   For more Evergreen episodes and to share your voice with us, visit our showpage.

Josh Stein vs. Mark Robinson: The Fight for Rights in North Carolina's Upcoming Elections.  In-depth analysis of North Carolina's political landscape reveals increasing threats to democracy and individual freedoms, with exclusive interviews by Laura including Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein and activists on the frontline.  This show is made possible by you! To become a sustaining member go to https://LauraFlanders.org/donate Thank you for your continued support!Description: North Carolina is a battleground state, and a petri dish for extremist policy and practice. Whether it's the right to vote, the right to read, or the right to decide the fate of one's body, North Carolinians are on the frontlines. The state has banned gender-affirming care for minors; its MAGA Republican gubernatorial candidate is calling for death for LGBTQ people and a total abortion ban. Will Proud Boys show up at polling sites this November to intimidate voters? In this special report, Laura speaks with Attorney General and Democratic gubernatorial candidate Josh Stein, and correspondent Lewis Raven Wallace examines the agenda of his Trump-endorsed opponent, Lt. Governor Mark Robinson. Laura also checks in with organizers and activists from past episodes. Among those: Serena Sebring, Executive Director of Blueprint NC; Mab Segrest, Writer, Organizer & Consultant with Blueprint NC; Courtney Patterson, Eastern North Carolina Organizer at Blueprint NC; and LGBTQIA+ youth activist Alex Lafferty. As you'll hear, North Carolina is a microcosm of this country. The question remains: where is the state headed this November and beyond?“There's a lot of people I know, a lot of trans people who want to go on hormones but don't have the ability to. And there are things coming up where they want to ban gender affirming care for not just minors but of any age, which is genocide. You can't destroy an entire community and see that as legal.” - Alex Lafferty“I'm seriously afraid that [Proud Boys] will show up in these polling places . . . They feel empowered right now. They feel that they are above the law, so they will do things, make things, they'll take chances because they feel like they'll get away with it.” - Courtney Patterson“I think we use infrastructure and people in order to meet a threat that ultimately is countered by one thing, and that's massive turnout. The best thing that we can do to protect safety in North Carolina is register and turn out voters at a scale that is historic.” Serena Sebring“In 2024, state capture is possible at the national level because it's been petri dished in these other places like North Carolina . . . If they get it, they can do anything they want to. And so they get more and more extreme, more violent, more dangerous because they're unchecked.” - Mab Segrest“North Carolina really is a bit of a microcosm of this country. We're a 50/50 state, elections swing back and forth. We're on the front lines of a number of critical battles, whether it's people's right to vote or whether it's their right to exercise decisions about their own bodies through reproductive decisions . . . We're really on the front lines about protecting people's freedoms.” - Josh SteinGuests:• Alex Lafferty:   Trans Activist, Artist and Composer • Courtney Patterson: Eastern North Carolina Organizer, Blueprint NC• Serena Sebring: Executive Director, Blueprint NC• Mab Segrest: Writer, Organizer & Consultant, Blueprint NC• Josh Stein: Attorney General & Democratic Gubernatorial Candidate Full Episode Notes are located HERE.  They include related episodes, articles, and more.

Many people expected the 2024 presidential election would be unpredictable.  But no one anticipated the recent sequence of events - Joe Biden's debate performance, the assassination attempt on Donald Trump and Kamala Harris's move to the top of the Democratic ticket. On this Us & Them episode, host Trey Kay looks at where all this is leading to… the ballot box. History often helps provide context, so Kay talks with two historians about our right to vote and access to the ballot box. We look back at just what the Constitution and America's Founding Fathers intended for our elections. As we dive into the history of voting rights, we learn that concept wasn't really at the heart of things during the birth of the nation. Actually, in the beginning, voting was a privilege for only a few people in the very new nation that would become the United States.

It's a presidential election year in the United States, with politics dominating the headlines from now until November. For many older people living in communal care settings, the ability to vote isn't always guaranteed, even though it's a baseline right that citizens do not lose as they age. Kate Poppenhagen, formerly the long-term care ombudsman for Larimer County, Colo. and currently a Ph.D student in social gerontology, joins the podcast to discuss a new effort to ensure all elders can vote this November, regardless of where they call home — and regardless of the candidates they support.

On August 18th, 1920, Tennessee cast the final vote to ratify the 19th Amendment, giving women nationwide the right to vote.
