Este artigo oferece uma visão sobre a participação política entre comunidades migrantes em Dublin, Irlanda, durante as eleições locais de 2019. As avaliações sobre a integração de migrantes na União Europeia, frequentemente baseadas nas categorias incluídas nos Indicadores de Zaragoza (Comissão Europeia, 2010) ou em estudos que expandem esses indicadores selecionados, enfatizam a vida política como um aspecto fundamental para a integração geral e a cidadania ativa. Este artigo analisa os níveis de comparecimento às urnas entre eleitores migrantes em Dublin, com o objetivo de avaliar se as tendências de baixa participação eleitoral estão relacionadas à falta de integração política, o que pode ter implicações negativas para as comunidades migrantes, que podem ter necessidades legislativas específicas. A aplicação de testes de correlação usando pacotes estatísticos em R e análise espacial por meio do software ArcGIS permite a investigação dessas tendências. Além disso, entrevistas com representantes políticos destacam a necessidade de melhoria na disseminação de informações, na educação e na integração das comunidades migrantes, especialmente em um momento em que a recém-criada Comissão Eleitoral da República da Irlanda tem o potencial de abordar essas questões.
