*New electoral areas introduced after 2018.
**Defence Forces personnel are required to fill out a Postal Voting form annually and return to their relevant Units. Once returned, the DF sends them onto their relevant County Council who then assign the Electoral area within the County, depending on the requirement to do so. This requirement is based on the need for a voting process (General Election). In 2021, there was no Electoral requirement for assigning the Electoral area by the County Council due to the lack of election of any type.
