Newtownards DEA within Ards and North Down
Newtownards DEA (1993-2014) within Ards

Newtownards is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Ards and North Down, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Ards and North Down Borough Council and contains the wards of Conway Square, Cronstown, Glen, Gregstown, Movilla, Scrabo and West Winds.[2] Newtownards forms part of the Strangford constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, where it contained seven wards (Bradshaw's Brae, Central, Glen, Loughries, Movilla, Scrabo and Whitespots). For the 1993 local elections, it was reduced to six wards, gaining Ballyrainey but losing Loughries and Movilla to the new Ards East DEA. For the 2014 local elections, it returned to seven wards as Ards East was abolished.
