Northern Ireland is bracing itself for its first Local Council Elections in four years.

Voters will go to the polls on Thursday, May 18th – with counting beginning the following day.

Just like the NI Assembly Elections last year, it is anticipated the count will last two days – so it will be Saturday before we have the overall picture.

WHO’S BATTLING FOR WHICH SEATS AND WHERE?

A total of 807 candidates will contest 462 seats in 11 council areas

HOW DO YOU VOTE?

The voting system used is called Single Transferable Vote (STV). That means you place a 1, next to your preferred candidate, then a 2, 3, 4 etc.

Polls will be open from 7am and close at 10pm.

WHAT HAPPENED LAST TIME AROUND?

In 2019 the DUP was the biggest party picking up 122 seats with Sinn Fein in second place having won 105 seats.

The UUP finished third with 75 seats.

One of the big stories of these Elections – similar to the NI Assembly Elections last year – was the rise of the Alliance Party which gained an additional 21 seats to bring their tally to 53 – just six seats less than the SDLP.

Below is a full list of the candidates battling for seats in councils across Northern Ireland
