Latest news: I have updated individual constituency pages for the 2011 Assembly election, and Conal Kelly has done the same for individual councils in the 2011 local government elections.

The clickable map, and the links at the end of this paragraph, will take you to a full set of election results since 1996 for the 18 constituencies (ie electoral districts) used for elections to the Northern Ireland Assembly and to the House of Commons at Westminster. The current boundaries were first used for the Westminster election of 2010. The 18 constituencies are East Belfast, North Belfast, South Belfast, West Belfast, East Antrim, North Antrim, South Antrim, North Down, South Down, Fermanagh and South Tyrone, Foyle, Lagan Valley, East Londonderry, Mid Ulster, Newry and Armagh, Strangford, West Tyrone, and Upper Bann. (See the map to the right, drawn by Conal Kelly.)
