Cusher is one of the seven district electoral areas (DEA) in Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon, Northern Ireland.[1] The district elects five members to Armagh City, Banbridge and Craigavon Borough Council and contains the wards of Hamiltonsbawn, Markethill, Richhill, Seagahan and Tandragee.[2] Armagh forms part of the Newry and Armagh constituencies for the Northern Ireland Assembly and UK Parliament.
It was created for the 1985 local elections, replacing Armagh Area B which had existed since 1973, where it contained six wards (Hamiltonsbawn, Killeen, Laurelvale, Markethill, Poyntz Pass and Tandragee). For the 2014 local elections it was reduced by one ward but gained most of the abolished The Orchard DEA.
