Braid is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Mid and East Antrim, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects seven members to Mid and East Antrim District Council and contains the wards of Ballee and Harryville, Broughshane, Glenravel, Glenwhirry, Kells, Kirkinriola and Slemish.[2] Braid forms part of the North Antrim constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1993 local elections, where it contained five wards (Broughshane, Craigywarren, Glenravel, Glenwhirry and Slemish), replacing the Braid Valley DEA which had existed since 1985. For the 2014 local elections it gained two additional wards, gaining Ballee and Harryville and Kells from the abolished Ballymena South DEA.
