Ballinderry (District Electoral Area)

Ballinderry was one of the three district electoral areas in Cookstown, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 2014. The district elected six members to Cookstown District Council, and formed part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Cookstown Area B which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ardboe, Coagh, Killycolpy, Moneymore, Stewartstown and The Loop. It was abolished for the 2014 local elections and divided between the Cookstown DEA and the Magherafelt DEA.
