Catrine, Sorn and North Auchinleck was one of 30 electoral wards of East Ayrshire Council. Originally created in 1984, the ward was initially within Cumnock and Doon Valley District Council before the local government reforms in the 1990s. The ward elected one councillor using the first-past-the-post voting electoral system.

The ward was a Labour stronghold as the party successfully held the seat at every election.

In 1999, the ward was abolished with the area represented by the ward placed into the new Catrine, Sorn and Mauchline East ward and the re-established Auchinleck ward.

Boundaries

The Catrine, Sorn and North Auchinleck ward was created for the 1984 local elections by the Initial Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1981 from part of the former Catrine and Sorn and Auchinleck wards. The ward took in the villages of Catrine and Sorn as well as the northern part of Auchinleck. The ward took in the northeastern part of Cumnock and Doon Valley between its borders with Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Council and Clydesdale District Council.[1] The ward's boundaries were unchanged following the Second Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements in 1994.[2] After the implementation of the Local Government etc. (Scotland) Act 1994, the boundaries proposed by the second review became the Formation Electoral Arrangements for the newly created East Ayrshire Council – an amalgamation of Cumnock and Doon Valley District Council and Kilmarnock and Loudoun District Council. In 1999, the ward was abolished following the Third Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements with the area split between the re-established Auchinleck ward and the new Catrine, Sorn and Mauchline East ward.[3]
