Ormiston (District Electoral Area)

Ormiston has been one of the ten district electoral areas (DEA) in Belfast, Northern Ireland since 2014. Located in the east of the city, the district elects seven members to Belfast City Council and contains the wards of Belmont, Garnerville, Gilnahirk, Sandown, Shandon, Knock and Stormont. Ormiston, along with wards from the neighbouring Titanic and Lisnasharragh DEAs, together with parts of Lisburn and Castlereagh District Council, form the Belfast East constituency for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

The district was created for the 2014 local elections, replacing the Victoria DEA, which had existed since 1985. Nineteen candidates contested the first election in 2014, the most of any DEA in Northern Ireland.
