Crossmore (District Electoral Area)

Crossmore is a District Electoral Area (DEA) located in County Tyrone, Northern Ireland. DEAs are local government areas used for the purpose of elections to district councils. They replaced the older system of wards and are designed to create more proportional representation.

The Crossmore DEA forms part of the Omagh District Council area (now part of the larger Fermanagh and Omagh District Council following local government reorganisation in 2015). It encompasses a specific geographical region, comprising several smaller towns and rural communities.

The key function of the Crossmore DEA is the election of councillors to represent the local population on the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council. These councillors are responsible for making decisions on a range of local issues, including planning, environmental services, economic development, and community services.

The boundaries of the Crossmore DEA, as well as the number of councillors elected from it, are periodically reviewed by the Local Government Boundaries Commissioner to ensure fair representation based on population changes. Detailed maps showing the exact geographical area covered by the Crossmore DEA can be found on the website of the Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency (NISRA) or the Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.
