Court (District Electoral Area)

Court is one of the ten district electoral areas (DEA) in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

Located in the north and west of the city, the district elects six members to Belfast City Council and contains the wards of Ballygomartin, Clonard, Falls, Forth River, Shankill, and Woodvale.

Court is split between the Belfast North and Belfast West constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.

It initially contained six wards, three of which came from the abolished Area E, with the remainder from Area G. From the 1993 through 2011 local elections, it contained five wards, namely Crumlin, Glencairn, Highfield, Shankill and Woodvale, following the abolition of the Saint Anne's ward.
