Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton is one of the eight electoral wards of South Ayrshire Council. Originally a four-member ward, Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton was reduced in size following a boundary review and has elected three councillors since the 2017 South Ayrshire Council election.
The ward has been split politically between the Scottish National Party (SNP) and the Conservatives with each party taking one seat at every election.
The ward was created following the Fourth Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements ahead of the 2007 Scottish local elections. As a result of the Local Governance (Scotland) Act 2004, local elections in Scotland would use the single transferable vote electoral system from 2007 onwards so Maybole, North Carrick and Coylton was formed from an amalgamation of several previous first-past-the-post wards.
It contained all of the former North Carrick and Maybole East ward as well as the majority of the former Coylton and Minishant and North Carrick and Maybole West wards, the northern half of the former Annbank Mossblown St Quivox ward and part of the former url=https://boundaries.scot/sites/default/files/SOUTH_AYRSHIRE.pdf |title=Fourth Statutory Review of Electoral Arrangements; South Ayrshire Council Area |publisher=Local Government Boundary Commission for Scotland |date=May 2006 |access-date=13 July 2024}} Following the Fifth Statutory Reviews of Electoral Arrangements ahead of the 2017 Scottish local elections, the ward's northern boundary was moved north and an area around Maidens, Turnberry and Kirkoswald was transferred to the Girvan and South Carrick ward. As a result, the ward was reduced from a four-member ward to a three-member ward.[2]
