Bann DEA within Causeway Coast and Glens
Bann DEA (1993-2014) within Coleraine

Bann is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Causeway Coast and Glens, Northern Ireland. The district elects five members to Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council and contains the wards of Aghadowey, Castlerock, Garvagh, Kilrea and Macosquin. Bann forms part of the East Londonderry constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Coleraine Area A which had existed since 1973, where it contained seven wards (Agivey, Castlerock, Garvagh, Kilrea, Macosquin, Ringsent and The Cuts). For the 1993 local elections it was reduced to six wards, losing The Cuts to the new Coleraine Central DEA. For the 2014 local elections it was reduced to five wards.
