Final turn out in #Clarele14 More than 56 per cent of people are estimated to have voted in Clare today, with turn out varying for 40 per cent to almost 70 per cent at some polling stations. Emigration, confirmation and confusion over the new electoral areas were attributed to the low turn out in some areas of the county. Polling station personnel also reported ballot boxes all but over flowing in some stations due to bulky ballot papers. Killaloe National School reported one of the highest turnouts at 67 per cent, while Tulla National School; also in the Killaloe constituency, has a turn out of 61 per cent. Turn out in the Shannon Electoral Area was significantly lower, with a 46 per cent turn out at St Conaire’s in Shannon and a 50 per cent turn out in Meelick.
