An election to all 19 seats on Laois County Council took place on 23 May 2014 as part of the 2014 Irish local elections, a reduction from 21 seats at the 2009 election. County Laois was divided into three local electoral areas 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). In addition, the town councils of Mountmellick and Portlaoise were both abolished.
Fianna Fáil became the largest party after the elections securing 7 seats. Fine Gael, by contrast, had a very poor set of results and lost half of their seats returning with just 6 seats in all. Sinn Féin doubled their representation to 2 seats and Labour retained a seat on the council in the Portlaoise LEA. Independents make up the remainder of the Council membership.
