Over 109K people registered to vote in Cavan-Monaghan
The local electorate will go to polls on Friday to select their chosen candidate in General Election 2025. Polling Stations will open at 7am and won’t close until 10pm.
A total of 60,063 people are eligible to vote in Co Cavan; while 49,089 are on the register of electors in Co Monaghan. It makes for a total poll in the constituency of 109,152.
Twenty candidates from all political divides will contest the election in this constituency - 14 men (70%) and six women (30%). The constituency has been reunited since the last election, which included a portion of North Meath at the time. Ten candidates are based in Co Cavan; nine in Co Monaghan; and one is from outside the Constituency.
Last time round, the electorate in Cavan-Monaghan-North Meath returned two Fianna Fáil, one Fine Gael, and two Sinn Féin TDs. Minister Heather Humphreys’ shock resignation in September has brought the potential for change this time round, but as they say, it’s all to play for on the day!
The counting of votes will get underway for the constituency at the Cavan Leisure Centre on Saturday, November 30.
