The Glens DEA within Causeway Coast and Glens
The Glens DEA (1993-2014) within Moyle

The Glens is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Causeway Coast and Glens, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and contains the wards of Ballycastle, Kinbane, Loughguile and Stranocum, Lurigethan and Torr Head and Rathlin.[2] The Glens forms part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament and part of the East Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Moyle Area A which had existed since 1973, where it originally contained five wards (Armoy, Glenaan, Glenariff, Glendun and Glenshesk). For the 2014 local elections it also gained most of the abolished Ballycastle DEA and parts of the abolished Bushvale DEA.
