Fact-check: Are 75% of non-voters in Northern Ireland pro-Union? - FactCheckNI
Verdict: accurate with consideration. the claim that three-quarters of non-voters in northern ireland are pro-union is based on evidence from a research survey commissioned on behalf of the university of liverpool. it found that 76.9% of respondents who did not vote in the 2019 general election and who stated a constitutional preference chose "to remain part of the uk". however, only 31.1% of those non-voters expressed a preference about whether ni should remain part of the uk or reunify with the rest of ireland. the remaining 68.9% of respondents who were non voters either had no preference or kept it to themselves.
