Magherafelt is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Coolshinny, Glebe, Lissan, The Loup and Town Parks East.[2] Magherafelt forms part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Magherafelt Area C which had existed since 1973. It was called Magherafelt Town until 2014, and originally contained five wards (Ballymaguigan, Knockclogrim, Lecumpter, Town Parks East and Town Parks West). For the 1993 local elections it gained an additional ward, Glebe. For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to five wards.
