With the next presidential election to take place on Friday 24 October 2025, Cork County Council will hold a Special Meeting to consider the nomination of candidates on Monday 22nd September at 4.30pm (presentations at 2.00pm in committee).

How do candidates get nominated?

There are three different methods for a candidate to get nominated:

• Be nominated by at least 20 members of the Oireachtas (this means TDs or Senators).
• Be nominated by at least four local authorities (county or city councils).
• Former or retiring Presidents can nominate themselves if they have only served one term.

This meeting is part of the formal nomination process.
