Drivers sound enough to offer space in their car to cash-strapped, stranded voters will be given the chance to win the cost of their petrol back and all that's needed is a video or photo of the drive home to be posted to the UCD SU Facebook page.
Commenting on the Carpool initiative, UCD Students' Union Campaigns and Communications Officer, Cian Byrne said: "We're doing everything we can to ensure a record-breaking student turnout for this election, especially as recent polls show that the appetite for real change is there. 83% of 18 - 35 year olds intend to vote on Friday!
“As we all saw last summer, young people voting is key to social reform and UCDSU are committed to seeing students pack out the polling stations after a year working on issues like housing, college fees, youth suicide, sexual consent and abortion.
“Students' Unions across the country have helped register over 80,000 new voters ahead of this Friday and now we must ensure that those voters are mobilized in a general election that otherwise promises more of the same."
