Waterford Local Election Candidates for 2024:

The 2024 Irish local elections are scheduled to be held in all local authorities in Ireland, including Waterford City & County Council on Friday 7 June 2024.

European Parliament elections will be held on the same day.

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.

Local Government Elections must be held every 5 years. In Waterford, 32 councillors will be elected.

Every person over 18 years whose name is included in the electoral register is entitled to vote in the local area in which s/he lives. It is not necessary to be an Irish citizen to vote in a Local Election.
