Ballyclare DEA within Antrim and Newtownabbey
Ballyclare DEA (1993-2014) within Newtownabbey

Ballyclare is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Antrim and Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council and contains the wards of Ballyclare East, Ballyclare West, Ballynure, Ballyrobert and Doagh.[2] Ballyclare forms part of the South Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament. It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Newtownabbey Area A which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained five wards (Ballyclare North, Ballyclare South, Ballynure, Doagh and Mallusk). For the 1993 local elections it lost Mallusk to Antrim Line DEA, while a new Ballyrobert ward was created within the DEA.
