An election to all 32 seats on Wicklow County Council took place on 24 May 2019 as part of the 2019 Irish local elections. County Wicklow was divided into 6 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).

Boundary review

Following the recommendations of the 2018 Local Area Boundary Committee Report, the Bray LEA from the 2014 Wicklow County Council election was divided in two, as its 8 seats exceeded the terms of reference of the report of a maximum of seven seats per LEA. All other LEAs retained the same boundaries. The boundary committee recommended that Bray be designated a borough district. This was implemented in the initial statutory instrument, but reversed as being contrary to the terms of the Local Government Act 2001.

Results by party

Fine Gael increased their seat numbers by 1 to emerge with 9 seats while Fianna Fáil retained 7 seats overall. Fianna Fáil again won 3 seats in Arklow but did secure 2 seats in Baltinglass. However they emerged seatless in both LEAs in Bray. Sinn Féin lost 4 seats to emerge 2 seats overall both in Bray, the base of the TD John Brady. Several party councillors had quit since 2014 and Gerry O'Neill and John Snell were both re-elected as Independents. The Greens gained an additional seat to return with 2 seats. Labour returned to the council with 2 seats in Bray and Wicklow while Jennifer Whitmore won a seat for the Social Democrats in Greystones. While there were a lot of changes Independent numbers reduced by just 1 seat to 9.
