An election to all 28 seats on Donegal County Council took place on 28 June 1967 as part of the Irish local elections. Councillors were elected from five local electoral areas for a five-year term of office on the electoral system of proportional representation by means of the single transferable vote (PR-STV).[1][2]
The election was originally planned for 1965, but had been delayed twice before eventually going forward in 1967.[3]
