The 2024 Irish local elections were held in all local authorities in Ireland on Friday, 7 June 2024. European Parliament elections were held on the same day.[1] It also included the 2024 Limerick mayoral election, for the first directly elected mayor in Ireland.[2][3] Each local government area (a city, a county, or a city and county) 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 (PR-STV).[4] This year saw a record number of women standing for election, with 31.4% (682 out of 2,171 candidates) being female.[5] 26.1% of those elected were women (248 out of 949), a small increase compared to the last elections.[6] Voter turnout for the elections was 49.4%, the first time less than half of registered voters participated, slightly down from 50.2% in 2019.[7]
