Elections in Northern Ireland are held on a regular basis to local councils, the Northern Ireland Assembly, the Parliament of the United Kingdom, and to the European Parliament.

The Northern Ireland Assembly has 108 members, elected in 18 six-member constituencies by the single transferable vote (STV) method.^[1] Northern Ireland is represented at Westminster by 18 single-member constituencies elected by the first-past-the-post method, and at the European Parliament by a single constituency returning three MEPs by the STV method.

Unlike in the rest of the United Kingdom, elections in Northern Ireland are administered centrally by the Chief Electoral Officer for Northern Ireland and the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland rather than by local authorities.
