The Explainer

Who gets to decide who can run for president?


Listen Later

The presidential election is just weeks away, but before candidates face the public, they must first find a way to get themselves on the ballot paper. How does the process of currying favour with local councils or members of the Oireachtas actually work, how have previous candidates navigated it, and what should the public be aware of on the day itself? We're joined by Dr Theresa Reidy, a political scientist in the Department of Government at UCC.
