An election to all 18 seats on Leitrim County Council took place on 23 May 2014, as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, a reduction from 22 seats at the 2009 election. County Leitrim was divided into three local electoral areas (LEAs) to elect councillors for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).
Fine Gael lost 6 seats, and their previously held overall majority while Fianna Fáil also lost 2 seats. Independents and Sinn Féin both increased their numbers by 2 despite the Council being reduced by 4 seats as a whole.Ronan McGreevy http://www.irishtimes.com/news/politics/all-change-in-leitrim-as-independents-and-sinn-f%C3%A9in-surge-1.1808174 All change in Leitrim as Independents and Sinn Féin surge The Irish Times 24 May 2014 24 May 2014http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Leitrim https://archive.today/20140618010619/http://elections.independent.ie/2014/local-election-2014/county/Leitrim dead 18 June 2014 Leitrim County Council Election results Irish Independent 24 May 2014 17 June 2014
