EU&I Voter Advice Application Launch in Dublin

(opens in a new window)EU&I Voter Advice Application was Launched in Dublin on May 14th, 2024 at the Royal Irish Academy. 

The interactive online tool asks users to react to a series of statements on contemporary issues and political values and then shows which parties are closer to their preferences in their country and throughout Europe. The users can see how they position across the whole EU, not only in their country of residence. 

The event featured an expert panel discussion related to the 2024 European elections, a presentation of theEU&Iapplication in action, and opportunities to connect with theEU&I2024 Team.
