Summary

Elections were uncontested in nine urban councils (the urban district councils of Monaghan, Castleblayney, and Westport, and the town commissioners of Ballybay, Ballyshannon, Belturbet, Boyle, Lismore and Mountmellick) and one local electoral area (LEA) of Monaghan County Council. Elsewhere, voter turnout was 54%, ranging from 29% for Dublin City Council to over 80% in Ballina, Cashel, Clonakilty and Kilkee.

The county boroughs of Cork, Limerick, and Waterford each formed a single LEA with large numbers of seats and counts: respectively 21 and 63, 17 and 26, and 15 and 34.[1][4]

A Dáil by-election for Carlow–Kilkenny was held on 23 June, the same day as the local elections in the corresponding areas.[5] The Elections Act 1960 enabled the by-election and local elections to use the same administration, giving cost savings estimated at £1,400.[6]
