Sligo County Council election, 2014

An election to Sligo County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of that year's Irish local elections. 18 councilors were elected from two electoral divisions by PR-STV voting for a five-year term of office.

Ahead of the 2014 election Sligo was redrawn into two electoral areas, a reduction in three from five, and the number of councilors was reduced to 18, from a previous total of 25. The Sligo Borough Council was also abolished. Fianna Fáil had a very good election, increasing their seat numbers by 1 to 8 seats. Sinn Féin gained 1 seat, as did People Before Profit, and Independents increased their numbers by 1 seat to 4. In contrast, Fine Gael lost 9 seats, being reduced to just 3 Councillors, while the Labour Party suffered a wipe out, losing representation on the council for the first time since 1912.
