Portadown is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects six members to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and contains the wards of Ballybay, Corcrain, Killycomain, Loughgall, Mahon and The Birches.[2] Portadown forms part of the Upper Bann constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, mainly replacing Craigavon Area B which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained seven wards (Annagh, Ballybay, Ballyoran, Brownstown, Corcrain, Tavanagh and The Birches). For the 2014 local elections it gained parts of the abolished Central DEA around Killycomain, and parts of The Orchard DEA around Loughgall.
