Hi Agastya,
I'm an Irish Wikimedian. Unfortunately you are a little late to get many
high quality or interesting images. Firstly most campaigns have finished
now, and there are very strict rules about campaigning on polling day. Even
in 2015 with the marriage equality referendum that had a good voter turn
out, I didn't see any queues at polling stations, and as a voter I'm prohibited
from taking photos in the polling station
<http://www.thejournal.ie/voting-eighth-amendment-guide-4014941-May2018/>.
All of the larger demonstrations have already happened, and given the
tensions around I don't know how welcome photos would be - there has been a
lot of aggression between the two campaign camps using go-pros and filming
etc.
Sorry!
Rebecca

Since I see that you're on twitter, Agastya,
I'll mention #8thref to you:

You will find public (though not open content) photos there so far.

Hello.
I am Agastya, a Wikimedian from India.
I was wondering if any of you could get some good photographs from
tomorrow's Irish referendum for the legality of abortion. It is an
important and sensitive topic, and it is possible some people would carry
placards/banners for the referendum. There might even be a peaceful
protest. Or even if you could get me photos of queues of people waiting in
line to vote.
Please get some great photos and upload them to Commons as soon as
possible.
Consider adding *Category:May 25, 2018 Irish referendum* to the media
files.
Thank you for your time!
