Election picnic: Festival-goers have their say on the race for the Áras

Electric Picnic - 'the ultimate rock n' roll circus' - is under way at Stradbally, Co Laois.

While Kneecap, Sam Fender and Fat Boy Slim are among the big music names performing today, other parts of the festival are focused on a diverse range of issues and topics.

An Coimisiún Toghcháin, Ireland's independent electoral commission, are on site at EP all weekend, registering people to vote ahead of this year’s Presidential Election.

As the race for the Áras gathers momentum, we asked festival-goers for their views.
