The 2024 Irish local elections are set to be held in all local authorities in Ireland on Friday, 7 June 2024. European Parliament elections are set for the same date.[1]
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).[2]
It will include the 2024 Limerick mayoral election, the first directly elected mayor in Ireland.[3][4]

Notes
- ^ a b Contesting as part of People Before Profit–Solidarity.
- ^ Republican Sinn Féin is not a registered party and its candidates appear on the ballot as non-party independents.
- ^ Will not appear on the ballot as Rabharta. The Electoral Commission proposed the registration of the party to contest European and local elections on 12 April. However, as the proposed decision was subject to a 21-day appeal period, it will not be in force for the 7 June 2024 elections.[5]
