Poll: What had the biggest influence on your vote?

In an RTE poll, most people said that they didn’t decide how they would vote during the referendum campaign.

IN AN EXIT poll conducted by RTÉ, voters were asked how and when they decided they would vote.

In response to that poll, 75% said they always knew how they would vote, while only 12% said it was during the referendum campaign. A further 8% said they decided following the Savita Halappanavar case.

So, we’re asking, what had the biggest impact on your vote?
