About this election
The voting system
As in every Dáil election, TDs were elected by the single transferable vote (PR-STV) in multi-seat constituencies of three to five members. The 2024 election was the first held in 43 constituencies returning 174 seats — up from 160 — following a constituency revision that added seats to reflect Ireland's rapid population growth. Voters rank candidates in order of preference and votes transfer as candidates are elected or eliminated, so the national first-preference shares shown here do not map onto a single regional winner; this page presents the national result and the composition of the Dáil.
