North Antrim (Assembly Constituency)
North Antrim (, Ulster Scots: ''North Anthrim'') is a constituency in the Northern Ireland Assembly. The seat was first used for a Northern Ireland-only election for the Northern Ireland Assembly, 1973. It usually shares boundaries with the North Antrim UK Parliament constituency, however the boundaries of the two constituencies were slightly different from 1983 to 1986 as the Assembly boundaries had not caught up with Parliamentary boundary changes. In 1996 members of the Northern Ireland Forum were elected from the newly drawn Parliamentary constituencies but the 51st Parliament of the United Kingdom, elected in 1992 under the 1983–95 constituency boundaries, was still in session.

North Antrim (Northern Ireland Parliament Constituency)
North Antrim was a constituency of the Northern Ireland House of Commons. The ''House of Commons (Method of Voting and Redistribution of Seats) Act (Northern Ireland), 1929'' introduced first-past-the-post elections for 48 single-member constituencies (including ''Antrim North''). This constituency was one of seven county divisions in Antrim, so it was smaller than the UK Parliament seat. From 1969 there were nine county divisions in Antrim, but the changes in the vicinity of Belfast did not affect the boundaries of this division. It comprised (in terms of local government units existing in 1929) parts of the rural districts of Ballycastle and Ballymoney together with the whole of the urban districts of Ballycastle, Ballymoney and Portrush. It returned one member of Parliament from 1929 until the Parliament of Northern Ireland was temporarily suspended in 1972, and then formally abolished in 1973. Politics County Antrim (except for parts of Belfast) is a strongly unionis ...
