The returning officer for the Local Elections in County Cork, Maurice Manning, recently confirmed that the counting of votes will commence on Saturday, June 8th, 2024.
Counting will take place at three centres in North Cork, West Cork and at Cork County Hall.
The start time on Saturday, June 8th is dependent on when the papers are made available by the County Sheriff. All the County boxes, which will contain European and Local papers, will be opened in Mallow on Saturday, June 8th.
