A Waterford City and County Council election was held in County Waterford and Waterford City in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year’s local elections. All 32 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 6 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote.
The 2018 boundary review committee recommended significant changes to the LEAs in the 2014 elections due to terms of references requiring a maximum of seven councillors in each LEA and changes in population revealed in the 2016 census.[1] These changes were adopted by statutory instrument (S.I.) No. 635/2018.[2]
Voters in Waterford also took part in a plebiscite on whether or not to establish the position of a directly elected mayor for the council under the Local Government Act 2019.[3][4] The proposal was rejected by a narrow margin of 50.8% No to 49.2% Yes.[5] Two other council also held plebiscites on directly elected mayors: Cork City rejected the proposal, and Limerick was the only one of the three to vote Yes.[5]
