In 1995, a large proportion of the townsmen voted against the Fifteenth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which removed the constitutional prohibition on divorce. Donegal was the only county to vote against Thirty-sixth Amendment of the Constitution of Ireland, which legalised abortion. The county also voted against the Twenty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2001 and the Twenty-eighth Amendment of the Constitution Bill 2008.
