It was unaffected by a national boundary review prior to the 2017 local elections, but after the introduction of the Islands (Scotland) Act 2018, North Ayrshire's wards were re-organised for the 2022 election: West Kilbride was re-assigned to the North Coast ward, and Dalry going to the Kilbirnie and Beith ward which was consequently re-named Garnock Valley to reflect its wider scope, both entities now electing five councillors.
