2019 Kerry County Council election
Results by local electoral area
An election to all 33 seats on Kerry County Council was held on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections . County Kerry was divided into 6 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).
Boundary review
Following a recommendation of the 2018 Boundary Committee, the boundaries of the LEAs were altered from those used in the 2014 elections . Its terms of reference required no change in the total number of councillors but set a lower maximum LEA size of seven councillors, exceeded by three of the four 2014 LEAs.[1] [2] [3] Other changes reflected population changes revealed by the 2016 census .
