An election to all 18 seats on Longford 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 Longford was divided into three 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). In addition, the town councils of Granard and Longford were abolished.
In one of the party's better local election results, Fine Gael remained the largest party with 8 seats. Fianna Fáil took 7 seats and the remainder were filled by Independents. This was the only Council on which Sinn Féin failed to make a breakthrough.
