Carrick Castle (District Electoral Area)

Carrick Castle is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid and East Antrim, Northern Ireland. The district elects five members to Mid and East Antrim District Council and contains the wards of Boneybefore, Castle, Kilroot, Love Lane and Victoria. Carrick Castle forms part of the East Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Carrickfergus Area C which had existed since 1973, and originally contained five wards (Killycrot, Love Lane, Milebush, Northland and Sunnylands). For the 2014 local elections it lost Sunnylands to the Knockagh DEA, but also gained parts of the abolished Kilroot DEA.
