The 2024 County and City Council elections in the Republic of Ireland

County and City Council elections took place in the Republic of Ireland on 7 June 2024, the same day as the European election contests. A record number of female candidates contested these election, while there was also a spike in the number of candidates running for smaller parties, as well as the main opposition party, Sinn Féin. Poll trends in the years leading up to these contests anticipated major gains for Sinn Féin, but the party did not fare as well as had been anticipated. The main government parties, Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael, did better than had been expected, by contrast, although the smaller coalition partner, the Green Party, lost over half of their council seats. These elections also saw the lowest every turnout level for a local election contest in the history of the state, with the national turnout level falling below 50% for the first time ever.
