2024 Irish local elections

The 2024 Irish local elections are scheduled to be held in all local authorities in Ireland in June 2024. The date will be set by order of the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage on the same day as the 2024 European Parliament election.[1] Each local government area is divided into local electoral areas (LEAs) where three to seven councillors are elected on the system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote.[2] The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage may make an order requesting the Electoral Commission to review local electoral areas. As of February 2023, the minister does not intend to make such an order.[3]
