An election to all 20 seats on Westmeath County Council was held on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. County Westmeath was divided into 4 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).
Following the recommendations of the 2018 LEA boundary review committee, the three LEAs used at the 2014 Westmeath County Council election were revised and replaced with four LEAs. [1] [2]
Fianna Fáil gained one seat in this election, Fine Gael and the Labour Party retained their five and two seats respectively, the Green Party had its first ever two local councillors in Westmeath elected, Sinn Féin lost their representation on this council while two Independent candidates were elected. The smaller parties that ran candidates in Westmeath (Aontú, the Social Democrats and Renua) failed to make any breakthrough.
