Torrent is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid Ulster, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects six members to Mid Ulster District Council and contains the wards of Ardboe, Coalisland North, Coalisland South, Donaghmore, Stewartstown and Washing Bay.[2] Torrent forms part of the Mid Ulster constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Dungannon Area B which had existed since 1973, where it contained six wards (Altmore, Coalisland North, Coalisland South, Coalisand West and Newmills, Donaghmore and Washing Bay).
