Bannside was a single-member county constituency of the Parliament of Northern Ireland.
Boundaries and Boundary Changes
This was a division of County Antrim. Before 1929 it was part of the seven-member Antrim constituency. The constituency sent one MP to the House of Commons of Northern Ireland from 1929 until the Parliament was temporarily suspended in 1972, and then formally abolished in 1973.
In terms of the then local government areas the constituency in 1929 comprised parts of the Rural Districts of Antrim, Ballymena and Ballymoney.
After boundary changes in 1969 the constituency included parts of the same Rural Districts but Bannside was extended to take in the northern part of the 1929–1969 Antrim Borough constituency.
