A Laois County Council election was held in County Laois in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections . All 19 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote . The 2018 LEA boundary review committee kept the LEAs used in the 2014 elections . To take account of population shifts revealed by the 2016 census, the electoral division of Clash mas moved to Borris-in-Ossory—Mountmellick LEA from Portlaoise LEA.
