A Laois County Council election was held in County Laois in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year’s local elections. 19 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 3 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote. Following a recommendation of the 2018 LEA boundary review committee, the electoral division of Clash mas moved to Borris-in-Ossory—Mountmellick LEA from Portlaoise LEA, to take account of population changes revealed by the 2016 census.
