A Guide to Running in the 2024 Local Elections
For the first time in Ireland, every practical piece of information you need to know to consider running for election, or to help get a woman elected to your county council is contained in one very practical publication. It is FREE to download in English and Polish, and you need to contact us to get the code to open the documents.
(We are currently working on a new edition of our Guidebook for the 2029 Local Elections. The new edition contains up to date strategies and reflects any relevant changes as well as a number of new chapters to give you the edge as a political candidate. The 2029 edition will be published later this year)

Introduction to Local Government for Women
If you don't see yourself represented in the make up of your county council or would like to find out more about the work of the council and being a county councillor then get in touch to register your interest.
Perhaps you know a women's group or organisation that would be interested in a free workshop on politics and local government. Get in touch and let’s see what we can do together.
Secondary Schools' Workshops
As part of our political education series, we can deliver a bespoke presentation for students from senior classes to encourage them to critically engage with See Her Elected’s work and the outcomes from having Council Chambers that do not reflect what the communities they represent look like. It's a fantastic opportunity to get students thinking about why the current status quo needs to change.
