The meme reads, "Voters from Galway, Cork, Limerick, and other cities join voters in Dublin to exercise the Overseas Vote in Ireland. We advance in these 2021 Presidential Primary Elections, remembering that vote can be exercised until 18:00."
The militants of the political organizations taking part in the primaries will vote according to their parties' list. Independent citizens can vote for a candidate of any of the two lists.
Over 2,000 voting centers were set up for these elections. The Electoral Service (SERVEL) informed that all polling stations were ready in the Magallanes Region, while only 81 percent of voting centers were ready in the Metropolitan region.
Due to the time difference, polling stations began vote-counting in New Zealand, where the Apruebo Dignidad list gained 362 votes, 183 of which were for Boric and 179 for Jadue
