Council control after election
TBD
A Tipperary County Council election was held in County Tipperary in Ireland on 24 May 2019 as part of that year's local elections . All 40 councillors were elected for a five-year term of office from 8 local electoral areas (LEAs) by single transferable vote .
The 2018 LEA boundary review committee significantly altered the LEAs 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 five 2014 LEAs. Other changes were necessitated by population shifts revealed by the 2016 census.[1] The changes were enacted by statutory instrument (S.I.) No. 634/2018,[2] and amended by S.I. No. 156/2019.[3]
