Map by Conal Kelly
The elections for Northern Ireland's 26 local councils took place
on 5 May, 2011, simultaneously with the Assembly
election. This was the tenth set of elections since the
local councils were reorganised in 1973, and the fifth on the
boundaries set up for the 1993 elections. Councillors are elected
for a four-year term by Single Transferable
Vote from local electoral areas returning five, six or seven
councillors. You can look at all the local election results since
1973 here, and compare specifically
with the 2005 elections here, the 2001 elections here, the 1997 elections here and the 1993 elections here. (See spreadsheet archive.)
