An election to Wexford County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections . 34 councillors were elected from three electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office, an increase of 13 seats from the previous election in 2009. In addition the Wexford Borough Council , Enniscorthy Town Council , Gorey Town Council and New Ross Town Council were all abolished.
The lionshare of the additional seats went to Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin who were the big winners in this set of elections in Wexford. Fianna Fáil also supplanted Fine Gael as the largest party but the additional seats helped to reduce the impact on the party as they only lost 1 seat. Labour lost half of their seats as Independents trebled their membership on the Council and People Before Profit won a seat.
