Electing a Mayor: What voters in Cork, Limerick and Waterford are being asked to decide

On 24 May 2019, the same day as the local elections, European elections and the referendum on divorce, voters in Cork city, Limerick and Waterford will have an additional vote to cast.

Citizens in these local authority areas will be asked if they want to introduce a directly elected Mayor for their local councils. Currently, there are no elected directly Mayors in Ireland.
