Ballymoney is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Causeway Coast and Glens, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects seven members to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and contains the wards of Ballymoney East, Ballymoney North, Ballymoney South, Clogh Mills, Dunloy, Rasharkin and Route.[2] Ballymoney forms part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Ballymoney Area C which had existed since 1973. It was called Ballymoney Town until 2014, and contained five wards (Carnany, Fairhill, Glebe, Newhill and Route). For the 2014 local elections it gained most of the abolished Bann Valley DEA and parts of the abolished Bushvale DEA.
