An election to all 29 seats on Louth County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, an increase from 26 seats at the 2009 election. County Louth was divided into four local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV). [1] [2]
Ahead of the 2014 election Louth was redrawn into four electoral areas, a reduction of one from five, and the number of councillors was increased to 29, from a previous total of 26. The borough council of Drogheda and the town councils of Dundalk and Ardee were all abolished.
