The Main (District Electoral Area)
The Main was one of the four district electoral areas in Ballymena, Northern Ireland which existed from 1985 to 1993. The district elected five members to Ballymena Borough Council, and formed part of the North Antrim constituency for the Northern Ireland Assembly.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Ballymena Area B which had existed since 1973, and contained the wards of Ahoghill, Cullybackey, Galgorm, Grange and Portglenone. It was abolished for the 1993 local elections, and mostly replaced with the new Bannside DEA with Galgorm moving to the new Ballymena North DEA.
