Cumnock Burgh was one of 10 electoral wards of Cumnock and Doon Valley District Council. Created in 1974, 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 since its creation until it was abolished.
In 1984, the ward was abolished and the area covered by it split between three newly created wards – Cumnock East, Cumnock South and Old Cumnock and Cumnock West and Auchinleck.
