The first election to the new Derry and Strabane District Council took place on 22 May 2014, as part of the Northern Ireland local elections that year.

Results by party Because these elections were contested with new electoral boundaries, the results are not directly comparable with those of the last election. However, psephologist Nicholas Whyte has calculated notional results by which to judge the parties' relative performance. The changes in seats and first preference vote share are relative to these notional results.
