All 18 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote.The 2018 LEA boundary review kept the two municipal districts used in the 2014 elections, while transferring one seat from Ballymote\u2013Tubbercurry to Sligo and splitting the latter into two LEAs.[1]  The changes were enacted by statutory instrument (S.I.) No. 632\/2018.[2]A total of 35 candidates contested the county’s 18 seats,[3] of whom fifteen were outgoing councillors.Fianna F\u00e1il and Fine Gael each had nine candidates. Sinn F\u00e9in had three, Solidarity\/People Before Profit had two, while  and one each for the Labour Party, Green Party and Renua.  The nine independent candidates included Declan Bree, who was County Sligo’s longest serving councillor. Thirteen of the fifteen candidates who were outgoing councillors were re-elected, including Bree who was first elected in 1974 to both the County Council and Sligo Borough Council.[3]Several seats were decided by very narrow margins, and result was that Fine Gael gained three seats to become the largest party, with six seats. Fianna F\u00e1il lost three seats, and the other group totals were unchanged.[5] The long-serving Bree was re-elected in the Sligo\u2013Strandhill LEA.Table of ContentsResults by party[edit]Results by local electoral area[edit]Ballymote\u2013Tubbercurry[edit]Sligo\u2013Drumcliff[edit]Sligo\u2013Strandhill[edit]Results by gender[edit]Sources[edit]References[edit]Results by party[edit]Results by local electoral area[edit]Ballymote\u2013Tubbercurry[edit]Ballymote\u2013Tubbercurry \u2014 7 Seats[8]PartyCandidateFPv%Count12345678910Fianna F\u00e1ilPaul Taylor[c 1]11.80%1,8861,9002,076\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0IndependentJoe Queenan[c 1]10.86%1,7371,7631,7731,7751,8061,8222,158\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0IndependentMichael Clarke[c 1]9.77%1,5621,6031,6141,6151,6641,6932,076\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fine GaelGerard Mullaney9.53%1,5231,5511,5561,5571,5651,6351,7471,7981,8191,853Fine GaelDara Mulvey[c 1]9.36%1,4971,5381,5831,5841,6241,9312,062\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilMartin Baker[c 1]8.96%1,4321,4721,5101,5211,5351,7931,8211,8691,8951,902Fine GaelBlair Feeney7.54%1,2061,2191,2211,2211,2271,241\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0IndependentWillie Gormley6.54%1,0461,0981,1751,1861,4551,7431,7861,8041,8211,826Fianna F\u00e1ilKeith Henry[c 2]6.39%1,0221,0501,0921,1091,146\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fine GaelMartin Connolly6.32%1,0111,0191,1931,2141,7321,7831,8681,8931,9061,923IndependentBarry Gallagher5.93%9489981,0971,109\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilRomuald Mullarkey4.33%692699\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Sinn F\u00e9inDaniel Gallagher2.66%425\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Electorate: 24,389 \u00a0 Valid: 15,989 \u00a0 Spoilt: 198 \u00a0 Quota: 1,999 \u00a0 Turnout: 16,187 (66.37%) \u00a0The Fine Gael director of elections made a formal complaint about the large increase in the number of postal votes cast \u2014 252 compared to 131 in the same district in the 2014 election and 20 and 17 in the other two districts in 2019.[9] The ensuing Garda investigation into potential electoral fraud was still ongoing in February 2022.[10]Sligo\u2013Drumcliff[edit]Sligo\u2013Drumcliff \u2014 5 Seats[12]PartyCandidateFPv%Count1234567Sinn F\u00e9inThomas Healy[c 1]15.11%1,3701,4021,4371,610\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilD\u00f3nal Gilroy13.87%1,2571,2791,3221,4351,4501,534\u00a0Fine GaelThomas Walsh13.46%1,2201,2361,2521,3221,3391,613\u00a0IndependentMarie Casserly[c 1]12.94%1,1731,2111,2501,4601,5041,688\u00a0Fine GaelTom Fox11.45%1,0381,0491,0601,1121,1161,3201,375Fianna F\u00e1ilSeamus Kilgannon[c 1]10.20%9259419641,0521,0631,1681,217Fine GaelCiara McLoughlin9.27%840857873926934\u00a0\u00a0People Before ProfitNigel Gallagher4.78%433475491\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilColm McGurran3.66%332333348\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0IndependentAmanda Gallagher2.84%257267\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Inds. 4 ChangeCorey Whyte2.23%202\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Electorate: 16,154 \u00a0 Valid: 9,065 \u00a0 Spoilt: 127 \u00a0 Quota: 1,511 \u00a0 Turnout: 9,192 (56.9%) \u00a0Sligo\u2013Strandhill[edit]Sligo\u2013Strandhill \u2014 6 Seats[13]PartyCandidateFPv%Count123456Inds. 4 ChangeDeclan Bree[c 1]15.83%1,348\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilTom Macsharry[c 1]12.23%1,0421,0531,1251,140\u00a0\u00a0Fianna F\u00e1ilRosaleen O’Grady[c 1]11.87%1,0111,0161,0571,0691,1451,217Sinn F\u00e9inChris MacManus[c 2]11.24%9579679881,0121,0991,167Fine GaelBlaine Gaffney10.81%9219269589711,0161,100Fine GaelSinead Maguire[c 1]10.74%9159429769841,0221,203People Before ProfitGino O’Boyle[c 2]10.56%8999259449761,0611,164LabourNessa Cosgrove5.52%470537567583606\u00a0IndependentJim McGarry5.45%464470495506\u00a0\u00a0RenuaFinbarr Filan3.70%315320\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0GreenMiranda O’Donnell2.05%175\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Electorate: 16,754 \u00a0 Valid: 8,517 \u00a0 Spoilt: 133 \u00a0 Quota: 1,217 \u00a0 Turnout: 8,650 (51.63%) \u00a0Results by gender[edit]2019 Sligo County Council election[5]Candidates by genderGenderNumber ofcandidates% ofcandidatesElectedcouncillors% ofcouncillorsMen2987.9%1583.3%Women412.1%316.7%TOTAL33\u00a018\u00a0^ a b c d e f g h i j k l Outgoing councillor elected in 2014.^ a b c Outgoing councillor coopted subsequent to the 2014 election.Sources[edit]References[edit]"},{"@context":"http:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"Enzyklop\u00e4die"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https:\/\/wiki.edu.vn\/en\/wiki40\/2019-sligo-county-council-election\/#breadcrumbitem","name":"2019 Sligo County Council election"}}]}]
