Wexford is a parliamentary constituency represented in Dáil Éireann, the lower house of the Irish parliament or Oireachtas. The constituency elects four deputies (Teachtaí Dála, commonly known as TDs) on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).

The constituency was created by the Government of Ireland Act 1920 and first used at the 1921 elections electing 4 deputies. Before 2024, it spanned the entire area of County Wexford, taking in Wexford, Enniscorthy, New Ross and Gorey.

The Constituency Review Report 2023 of the Electoral Commission recommended that at the next general election, Wexford lose a seat to become a four-seat constituency with the transfer of territory in the north of County Wexford to the new constituency of Wicklow–Wexford.[1]

For the 2024 general election, the Electoral (Amendment) Act 2023 defines the constituency as:[2]

"The county of Wexford except the part thereof which is comprised in the constituency of Wicklow-Wexford."

The seat was won by the Fianna Fáil candidate Denis Allen, reaching the quota on the first count. Subsequent counts occurred because the distribution of remaining votes could have saved another candidate their election deposit.
